Are you on high ground? Nederland may flood.

Even though I'm at Nederland's southernmost point, there's a peculiar contradiction in that the lot my house is on is supposedly the highest spot in town. At least, that's what I understand. And, during a big flash flood in the early-80s, it was indeed the only part of town that failed to be surrounded by rainwater.

Believe me, if I were instead in a few low spots just a few miles south of here in Port Arthur, I would not have gambled staying here. Overall, it still seemed the better option, taking my grandmother's precarious health into consideration.

Some really big gusts (and power dips) going on. The tree limbs are definately dancing about! This might very well be my last post for the duration.
