Maybe 6 years ago a TS headed here. Can't remember the name. I was working nights but my boss made me stay the day because she was afraid I couldn't get back. I woke up that afternoon expecting a storm but the weather fine. I went out and all of Harlingen closed up including Walmart! It passed thru Kennedy County. I stayed over for nothing and wound up only getting paid for actual hours worked. I was really P/Oed. The "strip" or unpopulated Mexico the best scenerio. I just hope Emily doesn't decide to skirt the coast and visit all of us.
You never know actually where those suckers are going in. If I remember correctly that was back in '99, went right in the King Ranch...all the TX coast had a real heads up on that one. Bret was a hurricane.
