If it should not curve and head here the city will be evacuated. We will just load them in the trailer and head NW. Tomorrow we will know.
Thanks:')
Boy, you guys are getting hit with everything. EEE and West Nile. If you get a cut, get a tetanus shot, the way things are going there, you'll need it.
By the way, I am northwest of you. I'll be praying you all stay safe, and all your critters also.
Tuffy is amazingly better. I'm thinking of trying plain old shoes, instead of the eggbars. I think the eggbars are putting too much pressure on his heels.
It was a little high, over $10. That's why I only bought for my "hard to worm horse". The rest of them gets the cheap paste.
Hey Cindy, let's go move in with Duchess! :)
Seriously Cindy, you stay safe down there. Sounds like Galveston is in big trouble after all. They said on Fox news that if the hurricane stays at the same strength it is now when it hits landfall, Galveston will be wiped from the face of the earth. I sure hope that's an exaggeration, Galveston has so much interesting history. I love it there.
"We will just load them in the trailer and head NW. Tomorrow we will know."
Good Luck! Just stay out of the storms way. : )
Anyway, you guys stay safe, don't take any chances and don't wait to the last minute to evacuate if it becomes necessary. I lived just north of Fayetteville, NC when Hugo came through on it's way to Charlotte. We had evacuation orders and it did a tremendous amount of damage. We were a long way from the coast.
Hey,
If you check back here stick around or call me. I'm checking in and out. Evidently El Campo under a mandatory evacuation tomorrow. I can't get any calls out.(but Brett can get thru from Japan!) Check on Dad , ok? Bretts wife said the nearest hotel was Fort Stockton.
Thanks but I am closer to you than where the storm will hit in Texas, I think..... : )
Tomorrow is just another boring work day for me.
Check your mail. : )
The latest runs of two key computer models, the GFS and GFDL, now indicate that the trough of low pressure that was expected to pick up Rita and pull her rapidly northward through Texas will not be strong enough to do so. Instead, these models forecast that Rita will make landfall near Galveston, penetrate inland between 50 and 200 miles, then slowly drift southwestward for nearly two days, as a high pressure ridge will build in to her north. Finally, a second trough is forecast to lift Rita out of Texas on Tuesday. If this scenario develops, not only will the coast receive catastrophic damage from the storm surge, but interior Texas, including the Dallas/Fort Worth area, might see a deluge of 15 - 30 inches of rain. A huge portion of Texas would be a disaster area. The models are not suggesting this at all, but is also possible that Rita may not make landfall on Saturday as expected, but pull up just short of the Texas coast and pound it for days as it waits for the next trough to pick her up. We'll have to wait for the next set of model runs due out by tomorrow morning to know better.
I'm here. I can't get a call through to you.
Ooops, sorry, that post was supposed to go to Cindy! :-)
Oh yikes. Either case does not sound good at all. However, I do hope that it falls short of you guys.
Can you get thru to dad? Tanya says there is a mandatory evacuation tomorrow.
That is alright, If I see any of the feeder bands in the sky tomorrow I will post a picture for you.
