NautiNurse’s hurricane threads are always very helpful to those in the path.

All we ever get here in Penna is rain by the bucketload.

Drive safely! If leaving gives you peace of mind then you’re doing the right thing. Prayers up for you.

I’m in Katy (just west of Houston, approx. 80 miles from Galveston) so even if it comes to Galveston, I’ll stay put.

You really need to keep a watch on this one.

He is not messing around. Isn't it great to see? The people of LA are lucky to have him. Or, I guess I should say they should congratulate themselves on their decision.

[aberaussie]

I’m glad it is moving fast. Even though Fay wasn’t a hurricane, it moved so slowly that it dumped a ton of water on us. I hope all goes well for you down there. We camped on Key Largo last year and loved it! Can’t wait to go back - after hurricane season of course....

When the 1900 hurricane hit Galveston there were only two houses left standing in Katy.

[jpsb]

There were probably only two houses in Kathy! ;)

hey rodguy, what’s the news on Hanna?

[shield]

Katy was leveled. So being 80 miles from Galveston with a large storm; shouldn’t make one feel secure.

Jefferson Parish presser up shortly.

I will stay put. I live about 4 miles south of I-10 and that was a parking lot during Rita with people going West.

I was a little girl when Carla came through. We lived in southwest Houston back then. Family from Pasadena, Pearland stayed with us. It was a scary time. Thats when Dan Rather rose to fame. Ugh!
