..... If she is going to leave, I would think she should do it this afternoon or evening.

Sounds like good advice. We can't leave ourselves until probably Friday morning. I still have three more huge (partially diseased) trees to cut down near my house as they are prime candidates to come down in a hard blow. I live on acreage in an area with tons of trees, beautiful and shady any other time.

I have others within striking distance of the house but they appear to be pretty hardy and should hold up pretty well.

Holding my place for later reading.

Also, I have a sister in League City and would appreciate links to local hurricane coverage. I'd like to know what my sis and her family are in for. They have a place in Trinity also and am not sure where that is.

You and your trees sound like us and ours. We have huge oaks and pecan trees bordering the back of our house...one of those things we always talked about needing to take down but didn't want to. But now they are the primary reason we plan to leave tomorrow morning.
