My uncle called me late last night to ask if I knew about the storm. Nope.

And that is why we are very lucky.

I knew when this developed Sunday afternoon that many people would not be aware of it until today, if then.

There was no time to do extensive prepartions or evacuate. Even if it's a moderate Category 1 storm, which is probably on the high side of the probabilities, we'll get through this without too much drama.

But if conditions were such that a Category 3 or higher storm formed yesterday, we'd be major league hosed.

No joke.

I'll take the TS or Cat 1, but please move it out quickly.

I'm as good as prepped as I am going to get, guess we'll see when it starts raining about midnight.

We just spoke to some Oklahoma friends, they were in Galveston on The Strand. They had left the place they rented on the west end of the island and were trying to decide if they wanted to get a hotel room on The Strand. I told them don't do it unless you want to be stranded there without a/c for a while. Then they asked what I thought about going up to Kemah and getting a room. Nope that would be worse. They said they might go up to the hill country but I told them that is where the storm is going. Okies don't ‘get’ Texas weather but then I don't ‘get’ tornadoes.

Turn on the tv sweetie, you’ll get enough drama to last till the family gathering at Christmas after the cocktails!
