During Dolly KURV 780 talk radio stayed live with open lines. Besides sharing good information, it was really, really funny. Nothing like having a little entertainment to go with your chocolate.
That’s because of the “ones” economic policies, the hurricane isn’t even here yet. ;)
A few showers today, sun’s out at the moment, slightly north of Corpus Christi.
Was almost to Baffin this morning and things looked real bad south and east, not much better north and west. Cleared up shomewhat for the time being.
Emergency vehicles southbound, did not see power truck convoys yet.
Thanks for your local update. Hope you were able to complete all of your prep chores this afternoon without complications.
They were probably finished before noon.
Good crews that know what to do make my job easy.
Once in a while anyway. :)
A note to anyone coming north on Hwy. 77. there is a construction choke down to one lane at Robstown (west of Corpus Christi).
Not normally an issue, but one of our guys said it was 5 mph coming through late this afternoon.
