Thanks for the prayers. I know it will probably get a bit rough. My plot of land here in Nederland actually has a fairly decent elevation compared to much that surrounds me. They've turned the water off here, but I filled the bathtub, so I'd have water for the toilets to work, when needed.
Have hardly gotten any rain at all, but the wind is really whooshing the oak trees around. It will probably get pretty spooky here at night, with the electricity off, and the winds howling. But, I'm not too faint-hearted.
If you can; let some one know where you are just in case.
You are gonna face this one head on. I know I'd be pretty durn scared.
You'll lose electricity soon. Are you on Cable modem or dial up?
Please keep me posted. We have family land in Nederland, all the folks are gone but I'd like to know how you fare. Take Care!
If you have a life jacket, you may want to keep it handy. If you are somewhat elevated in comparison to the area around you, that could subject you to higher, unobstructed wind gusts. And the Neches is likely to be a lake the size of Sabine Lake by morning. You're in for an interesting 24 hours. God speed!
