Nice and warm here in Corpus Christ. A little wind, but that is then norm


73 degrees. Did you know Corpus Christi should be called ‘the windy city’ instead of Chicago? Much windier.

Well, my tablet is down to just 15% power, so I’ve only got a little while left to stay on here. Hopefully Oncor will get our electricity restored overnight.

G’night all.

Forty plus houses damaged in Waxahachie. No power in that area.

Another dead in north Texas to add to the ones I just reported - I do not know if he said Garland or Rowlett for this one.

I always keep a marine auto/boat battery charged. Gives you a few hours low power on an inverter. Well. Better go make sure mine is charged fully now. Stocked up on frozen dinners for the storm. Might have a problem with that plan.
