I am just hoping that we get some rain in your area. The lake at DCS is down several feet. Please keep me updated on what is going on in the area.
3 mil construction debris bags work best. Available at Lowes, Home Depot, etc.
Well folks, I’m hitting the hay. Good luck and God Bless to you all. Also someone more persuasive than I please convince the coasties to head for the hills.
We live in Conroe and in 1983 when Alicia came to town we were without power for six days. I’ll never forget crouching in the closet and wondering if that howling wind would ever stop. We cooked outside for every meal and our children loved it. We all cried when the power came back on. August in southeast Texas is a new kind of hot.
It will probably be a last minute realization by the ones in charge - We’d better warn people - and it will cause panic. All they need to hear is, ‘As big as Katrina’ and they’ll be in a state. Be safe.
Why dfw, I never knew you cared!
Hey, Beckybea...
I used to live in Conroe and my folks still do (Rivershire). We moved to Corpus about 6 years ago.
Hope all goes well over there for all of you!
Isn’t Rivershire where you cross that little barned-in bridge to get to the subdivision?
You’re thinking about River Plantation. Lived there 35 years and have moved
to Teaswood. About 15 miles north of the San Jacinto Bridge. Thanks for
your concern.
Close...that’s River Plantation. Rivershire is off of Gladstell.
Your hamster comments made me laugh! Thanks for the levity... praying, as always.
(Hmmm.... waiting for someone to create a Hurricane Hamster graphic now!)
It’s a charming little place.
(Remember Elian? I always thought ‘The Miami Relatives’ would be. hee hee)
I know — so irresponsible of me. But I thought they’d be good for actual information at 8 p.m. pacific. Silly me!!
I’m in Katy. This could still move up a little more north. We’ll have to wait and see.
The Miami Relatives would be equally cool - they’d probably have a samba flair.
That doesn’t stop me from worrying about you. I;m worried about my cousins in Friendswood and Pearland, also. One has a half-dozen house guests from Argentina! They’re staying put.
Bacon Man and Hap are in your neck of the woods. As far as I know, since they moved there a few years back, they haven’t felt a particular threat from any storm.
Hurricane Alicia brought down our pine tree and part of our fence but the house wasn’t damaged in the least. We should be fine here.
