You made it Praise God! Hows your Grandma?
How bads the damage to your casa?
Seriously? I thought we had the most rainfall in the country..
I am so glad he is a Democrat. The talking heads and screaming Congress can take note that a Democratic Mayor and Republic Governor worked well together as opposed to the NO disaster.
The electric company and I are fighting right now. My electric bill jumped thirty dollars over last years bill. There is a problem on their part as their is nothing wrong with the AC or the hot water heater. They say it's my fault and not theirs and I say just the opposite.
"Let me know if they say the sun is up, okay?"
They already posted that, but here is some Breaking News from Beaumont....
Shep the Fox Reporter-Dude:
[calling in five minutes ago, breathless]
"Winds took rocks and pebbles from roofs, smashed some of our crew vehicles"
and two minutes earlier:
Fox Reporter-Rette:
[holding up large piece of broken street lamp the size of her head]
"This must be from a broken lamp"
My mom and dad live in Woodville, just west of Jasper. They are in their 80's and with the phone lines down, we can't get in touch with them. Does anyone have any contact with someone in that area to access damage or conditions? I understand that around 7:00 a.m. the winds were around 100 mph and I am really worried.
Mobile, AL gets twice as much rain/year as Seattle.
New York City has more yearly precipitation than Seattle does.
One of the great weather myths is that Seattle has really unusually large quantities of rain.
Because that area is close to sea level, the storm didn't actually hit land until it reached Port Arthur TEXAS.
;-)
My SIL's house is in that area - they evacuated to San Antonio.
Good to here their place is (probably!) OK, if your's came through all right.
Thanks for correcting my ignorance.
Thank you for checking in. Prayers that God continue to have a sturdy guardian angel at your side.
Um, maybe he did leave once the mandatory evacuation call went out. But damn him for making sure his place was secure and outside objects put away.
Riveting, ain't it?
I think we're one of the few places where, when it rains, everyone rushes OUTSIDE!
Smart people. My cousin told his wife yesterday their will be NO gas fires in the fire place this year. He's retired now so she can't even sneak one in when he's not there.
Nita Nupress is in Kountze just south of Woodville she said lots of trees down she was on battery so she wont be on much. Check her latest posts. I'll look too just a sec.
It just rains more often in Seattle. Much, much more often. I was there once. It rained/misted for three straight days.
You may have the most days with rain. Mobile and Miami have the most rain because of heavier rainfall. Here in Huntsville we average about 54".
