I’m just north of you, in Deer Park. I guess we’ll be storm watching this holiday weekend. Let’s just hope we don’t have to make a dash out-of-town.

It's going to take a Cat 5 for me to ever even consider evacuating again. What a nightmare!

Storm watching ... a great way to spend a long holiday weekend. :-)) At least we'll have more personal time to tend to security needs should it look like old Gus is headed towards us. Stay safe!

I’m only guessing that you are younger than I am so forgive me if I’m wrong. When I was a child in Louisiana I went through Carla and Audrey. I will be outta here so fast at a 3, 4 or 5. It can be horrific. Alicia was a snoozer so please don’t use that as comparison. We’ve had worse tropical depressions around here than Hurricane Alicia. I know it was a nightmare evacuating Rita but consider lots of people are not going to do that again. I had just been home a few weeks after evacuating for Katrina (we were there for the weekend) so I felt like “oh no, not again” but regardless, I got out there and drove the first 60 miles in 13 hours. I just kept inching my way west to safety. It was unnecessary as it turns out but better safe than sorry.

Thanks and you stay safe too.

You have water-worries; we have trees. We looked like a war zone after Rita.

I like Seabrook seafood!
