track is going little further north. off the saffer-simpson scale per Fox's Bastardi. (what a name). There's a yellow blob by my house on Fox.

[Txsleuth]

Thank you very much....for the weather warning..

Actually that warning sounds better than some of what I have heard...

but, since it is only Wednesday...I doubt if anything is carved in stone...

[abb]

wind, tree damage, extended (1-2) wks of power outage.

[NautiNurse]

Inland winds...what is the status of trees surrounding the home?

[ARealMothersSonForever]

Tomball is approx 35 mi NW of Houston. Should not be a huge surge risk, but the wind is going to be fierce.

[Sprite518]

896mb per Hannity and Combs....

[Howlin]

She's a 5; 920 mb and still sucking up the GOM.

[Flyer]

Thanks for your concern.

I really have weighed the risks and think I am okay here.

"Famous last words."

"If we die, we die fighting."

How's that?

[Tuxedo]

Oh, that is just scary. 15-30 inches of rain?

[Dog]

896?

[NonValueAdded]

Watching Joe on FNC now ... is his middle name "insufferable"?

[STARWISE]

Been cubicle bound all day ... hasn't TX yet been declared
as a Federal state of emergency?

[Lazamataz]

OMG! This thing is making a real run at a record! If it gets to 888mb, that will tie the record. L-rd I hope you Texas freepers stay okay. I'm really fond of some of ya.

[Howlin]

Yeah, but he's been right on these last two storms.

[Tuxedo]

Yes, early this afternoon.

[don-o]

FRiend, it's one thing to wonder about goins back - we have a friend who evacuated all the way to Erie, PA. And she wants to go back.

It is another, and despicable thing, to post and hope for another hit on NO. There are a couple of brainstems stuck on stupid on this thread.

[Dog]

Only some....:-)
