Thanks man, my mom and my brother were not going to leave but when my Dad passed yesterday they did not need to stay, I think God's timing had something to do with it, I just pray she doesn't lose her house on top of all the other stuff going on. We will find out, I rode out Alicia in that same house with my family when I was 9.
Anyone watching Weather Channel? A streaker ran by the camera just a few minutes ago....roommate and I were kind of stunned.

Thats awesome! Saw a guy in a bear costume dancing on the seawall earlier on KHOU.
If it was a guy.... nasty. If it was a girl.... was she hot?
posting from my iPhone as we lost power. It's sounding pretty rough out there.
2 hour catnap and back up now.
did anyone else catch Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst put a $100 Billion dollar price tag on this storm? Holy Crap! With what I'm seeing on tv I sorta believe it, but that is a very big number.
Anyone heard about any tornadoes yet?

.......Talked with Hobie around 6:45 a.m. he went out to assess his house and the winds almost took him......
Just kidding...I'm glad to hear that everyone is doing well. I hope the fire department was able to contain the fire next to SheTexan's house.
My wife has been sleeping since she was up all last night, hopefully she can get out and ASSess the damage soon.
Here are my updates SheTexan didn't lose power until around 11:00 p.m. 4:00 a.m. things were getting really bad. Spoke with her around 7:00 a.m. and her neighbors house behind her was on fire and explosions with sparks flying into her backyard with the high winds. Fire fighters made it on the scene after an hour so she is hoping they were getting it under control but she is extremely frightened and feeling helpless..she got her animals and granddaughter across the street to her other daughters house in case the fire would spread. Structurally, her house isn't having any problems at the moment.
Talked with Vinny from 5:00 a.m.-6:45 he moved in land and was having severe storms last I heard his neighbor lost his garage with a huge blast and it hammered his two cars..otherwise we were making jokes!!
Texan_Bill called at 3:50 a.m. he went to a friends house and ended up without power since 8:00 pm and he said he was sweating his ass off!!! He sounded like he was feeling no pain lmao but doing well.
Dean isn't having any problems...tough Marine!!!
Jeff (TexanLee) was having hurricane winds in Jersey village at 6:48 a.m. but they were holding out.
Spoke with Tedc a couple times this morning around 7:00 a.m. he has some leaks in his roof and he couldn't wait to get out with his hardhat on to start cleaning up but he and Kat and children were doing fine.
Talked with Hobie around 6:45 a.m. he went out to assess his house and the winds almost took him. His fence is damaged, he said this isn't GOOD!!
Haven't heard from Glasshalfful yet.
