Landfall is beginning now in Rockport.

Any news from Aransas Pass or Ingleside?

I've been through Charley and Wilma here in Florida - a Cat 4 is devastating; if you are in an mandatory evacuation zone or voluntary, please take the warning seriously and get out while you can.  Praying for ya'll and praying that this monster dies down quickly and doesn't linger.

   Ray lives up the road a piece, in Wimberly, spends a lot of time in my little town when he's not touring and/or recording. He's got a new album out that so far is, well, Ray, kinda like like a Grateful Dead thingy, I suppose.  His title Track is 'Tell the Devil I'm getting there as fast as I can'.  He's devoutly Religious and has been as far back as I can recall, I never understood his singing about the devil so much.  I'll post it in the Daily Music thread when it is provided.

What kind of trees?  Some are better at staying upright than others.

In the front I have an Arizona Ash. In the back, I have a pecan tree (which I hate and want gone) and a tallow (which is basically a weed and grows everywhere down here). All are mature trees and quite large.

The only one of those you need to worry about is the Pecan!  The ash will be fine and you couldn't knock the tallow tree down if you wanted to as there in much more of it below ground than above!  I HATE the bloody things!

Sorry..but No.  The car is on another policy and has a separate deductible and only if the car has comprehensive coverage. Looking at that POS in the drive....   I don't think it is covered!

Depends on how old that ash is. People plant them here(used to) because they grow fast. They grow fast because they get so so much more water than growing in Arizona and they quickly grow themselves to death.

   I live in a somewhat ancient Pecan Tree Grove, they are very stressed and always shedding limbs or something. There will be no pecan crop this year, between the web worms, the hungry squirrels and an extremely dry July/August.

   1st band which the weatherman this morning predicted would be here by Noon today, should be here within the hour.

   I was thinking earlier, about parking my car around the corner, replacing the battery with a dead one I have in storage, to cover my tracks, pour some water in the crankcase and call it a night, till I realized there's no bottled water to be had in this town.
   I need a new car and all you other people should pay for it.

Depends on how old that ash is. People plant them here(used to) because they grow fast. They grow fast because they get so so much more water than growing in Arizona and they quickly grow themselves to death.

I think Elderberry is right. This one is about 35 years old. It's full and fat and has a beautiful but somewhat overgrown canopy. I will hate when I have to get rid of it.

Bigun, tallows are a PITA, but I have a soft spot for them because they're great climbing trees. I climbed a hundred of them in my youth (and a few in my post youth). Also, they're beautiful in the fall. I didn't plant it. Tallows tend to plant themselves. All things considered, I'd rather not have it, but I rather not have the pecan more. All this is moot since I can't afford to get rid of them anyway.  :shrug:

Not from Texas, but the folks in Ingleside say uh-RAN-sus

   That's the way I pronounce it @Hoodat and I've been in Texas off and on since 61.

   I was thinking earlier, about parking my car around the corner, replacing the battery with a dead one I have in storage, to cover my tracks, pour some water in the crankcase and call it a night, till I realized there's no bottled water to be had in this town.
   I need a new car and all you other people should pay for it.

People like U taught me to be cynical. ****slapping

Incredible.
I call it stupid, as I used to live in an apartment in Portland and it is very, very exposed to the water.

Yes, but sometimes 'stupid' can offer a contribution to the scientific knowledge of others.
