I was flipping between 11 and 8----and they were showing all of the lines of cars in the gas stations...

What is up with people???? WE don't need to leave...just ride it out at home for the weekend....crazy, crazy...

Troy Dungan is predicting more of an East Texas big rain.

He also seems to think the hurricane will hit closer to LA than Bastardi on Fox....and says HE thinks it won't be too bad for Houston...

I will hunker down tomorrow in a very very strong house. I will be OK, I worry more about the thousands stuck on the side of the road. The evac plan would have worked OK, but folks not in real danger like us on the water hit the road too, nothing to be done about it, it's a free country but I wish people would turn off the TV and think for themselves a bit.

I actually don't know much about her, except I believe she never married, and left her house(?)to the state when she died. I know she was a philanthropist. What's the deal with Bayou Bend?

I've been stuck in Houston traffic before. I'm really impressed with how well it's actually going.

I never look at the strike probabilities; they're really not that interesting and don't tell you anything that isn't in the track map. It's just putting the data in a different format.

Oops, sorry, newbie mistake. I didn't see your original post about the Ding Dong Daddy (from Dumas). (As opposed to Muleshoe).
