I'm here to stay. Several of us had a plan in place to go if we decided to, but we will all be here.
My son and his family are riding it out in The Woodlands....they wanted to come north but couldn't get out!
Yikes, I was accidentally lurking, out of force of habit. I can post here!
(When facing my imminent Death by Rita, I said to myself, if I die, I must die a FReeper.)
I'm here, but still have 6 "Thursday" things on my to-do list left--and 21 "Friday" things to go, including siliconing the bathtub plug in place before filling up the tub--it has flunked two tests so far. Then I can FReep--but of course, I'll be without power by then.
But what a day, starting with a wake-up phone call telling me "it's going east, it's going east! We're staying!"
However, I'm still considering her a Cat 5 coming in at Galveston. Never turn your back on a herricane or himmicane--they just can't be trusted.
Prayers going up for my friends in the Golden Triangle and all points twixt here, there and Lock Cholly.
Hope to BBL.
