We are west of Houston. Haven't decided yet but leaning toward riding it out, but it could change tomorrow.

I just got off the phone with my mom. I've now officially got two idiot cousins and an idiot niece staying in the Pasadena area. Here's prayers that next Monday we're able to chew them out for making us worry so much.

Always do. We have enough food, water, and ammo to survive for at least a week.

Sending you FReepmail about your niece.

Hopefully, we won't get hit too badly, but we are making some preparations, just in case.

Since we don't really know what to expect, I hope that your niece goes on to Waco so she will be with family. If she stays, we will be here if she needs anything.

The parking lot at my old apartment at A&M used to get flooded, and cars would float away. That's what I remember. Of course, this would always happen the first day of school also (or it seemed that way back then).

I would be more concerned about her handling being without electricity for several days. Hopefully she was able to buy some food.

However, I remember that I got stuck at A&M during a snowstorm before classes started for the 2nd semester. We had electricity, but you couldn't drive around. We were stuck in the dorms, and there were no cafeterias open on campus. We had to walk to the grocery store and there was 1 pizza restaurant that was open. We had a blast!!!

Here's praying she has fun if she gets stuck there.

A&M has done major improvements in the last 10 years with drainage as has College Station. About 3 years ago, A&M built a giant retention pond to hold excess water so the campus won't flood and won't overload College Station's storm water system.

Great idea, Howlin. As for me, I'm south of Austin. Supposedly, we're going to get 90-100 mph winds, but I'm not sure. I know I'll be on the edge of my seat if someone fails to check in.

It depends. We will decide tomorrow. In the mean time, we will be boarding up our windows either way. Thanks for caring.
