Thanks for that pic of Shep...you must have posted it while I was posting that I hoped to catch a gander of him out there braving the elements.

Seems like a lot of sacrifice for ratings...wonder if he is ordered to do this.

Do you happen to know the wind velocity where he is?

Wish I did.

Watching the "journalists" is the highlight of the hurricane so far.

Azle should be just fine...I wouldn't worry about it...in fact the only thing to worry about might be the foundation from lack of water...

sheesh...the hurricane is now moving more north, northeast..which means an even less chance of rain here probably...

Have a good time in Denver...at least you will be cool I betcha!

I just saw on TWC where the first rescue operation occured-where else,Louisiana. They convinced a pregnant lady and her 4 yo son to evacuate-they had to send out a rescue swimmer,and the film footage showed the lady in the helicopter rescue cage thingy(what ARE those called?) The rest of the family chose to remain behind with the house. From what I could see,it appeared to be a coastal area or barrier island. In my niece's notorious phrase-WHO DOES that???!!! Especially pregnant,with young children?
