looks like Harvey will hit the Corpus Christie area as a cat 3 and then move slowly up the coast dumping humongous amounts of rain along the way. Should not hit the Houston area until maybe Sunday or Monday. Biggest worry for Houston is flooding, not so much the winds. I think the surge levels here will only be 2-4 feet. Terry will be in noo yawk until after the storm is gone, so I've provisioned the larder with single malts, beer, junk food, etc. and have stocked up on gasoline for the generators, ammo for the 12 ga. and we shoot looters signs.
Should be a fun weekend. McNulty.....got an extra bed if you miss the Beaumont area.

Keep up with the single malt and beer and you might meet Harvey the six foot rabbit. Hope you get to enjoy the storm and not suffer any ill effects. |

Thanks Dave, but I will decline. I remember all too often what happened in Beaumont during a storm when the power went out. The pumps down at High Island stopped and I had at least 3ft of water outside my apartment. No wading due to snakes that could send one to the happy hunting ground. I hope all you down in baja Cajun country have minimal problems. Be well. |

Houston is much like Charleston where a heavy rain at high tide causes flooding. |

That is where high hills come in handy...  |

My brother lives in Friendswood, works in Houston. My Mother lives in Pearland. Jeff has a huge ditch in front of his house. Both say they will probably ride it out and be locked in until Tuesday due to flooding of surrounding neighborhoods. But both also say it all depends on what happens once it hit land. Head east - on sweat; back out to see - Houston could be next; stay ashore - we'll find out. I wish any there luck. Keep the oars handy. |
