I'm still on. All my in-laws have suddenly gone silent, as they realize that their hometown, Lake Charles, is going to get pounded. Lots of tall pine trees around their houses, that will get snapped off and dropped through roofs.

There'll be storm surge, with water in all their houses.

I cannot imagine what you will be saying to them for comfort.

It's going to be a long night for you and them.

My daughter's best friend lives in Nacogdoches...with those same tall pine trees all around her house and is worrying.

I told my daughter that I thought that Nacogdoches was far enough north that perhaps the wind wouldn't be strong enough to blow them into her house...

What do you think?

I am feeling for them Sinkspur. That is what I thought would happen to my place in League City, when I left on Wednesday. My good fortune is because of someone else's pain. Wish it wasn't.
