We sure wouldn’t mind getting some rain from this system
here in West Texas! Just hope no one gets hurt!

[SouthTexas]

Well, CindyDawg’s our freeper closest to the action;

I'd say front row!

[SouthTexas]

Thank you, I was not aware of that either.

[NautiNurse]

Have you had time to button up the windows and batten down the hatches?

[CindyDawg]

Yeah, my husband put the shutters up today. I did as much as I could before I left. This just kind of threw me for a loop though because it wasn’t supposed to be here until
friday and then when I left tomorrow night. I haven’t got my list completely checked off and that drives a list person up the wall:’)

[CindyDawg]

Unusual isn’t it? We usually shoo these things north:’)

[SouthTexas]

I’ve been trying to pull it up here all day! LOL

You should have stopped by here on your way home, we could have stocked you up. :)

Galveston Island checking in. The fish have been properly terrorized and/or fitted with brand new ‘lip rings.’ (Bayside only.) One lovely red drum decided to join me for dinner.

Breezy, winds straight West.

Prayers for y’all down there in Brownsville.

[CindyDawg]

I had no internet access today. I was expecting to have all day tomorrow to check stuff. I even stopped in Austin and the grandkids and I toured the capital. About your area though, I was throwing happy meals in the back seat and burning asphalt..

IT ain’t over yet, a little jog to north could make a big difference. As a matter of fact I seem to have noticed a little northerly jog and it has realy slowed down so we will see.

[CindyDawg]

thanks . “lip rings?????:’)

[txhurl]

I think it’s going to be CC.

[SouthTexas]

I was on and off much of the day, work got in the way.

Sounds like you had a fun day anyway!

[txhurl]

I don't know if you guys follow Weatherunderground, but there's a chap there - MichaelSTL - that I trust implicitly and explicitly, and here's his extrapolation of the eyewall, which sort of puts Brownsville and CindyDawg maybe out the woods.

[eastforker]

This storm has been anything but typical. I bet the forecasters have been pulling their hair out over Dolly.A ten hour jog to the north will catch a lot of people by surprise.

[SouthTexas]

Yeah, we could be quite damp come daybreak.

I had thought Corpus Christie at one point.

[Enosh]

Sometimes nasty critters like gar or tiger shark bite the line apart, earning themselves a hook, or 'lip ring.' ;)

[eastforker]

Look at the brownsville radar. Put a straight edge on the west side of the eye, it is moving north right now, not west.

[SouthTexas]

It does have a weird wobble working there.

Have seen them roll right up the coast before.

About time for the update.
