Elevation is 42 feet - the drainage district jokingly calls this area "Mount Friendswood". We didn't flood during the TS Claudia which dropped 43 inches in about 24 hours, so I think I will be OK.

Ok... that's good. Then stock up on Oreos! And.. batteries.

When my first son was born, we lived very near you.. in a condo just behind the State Farm agent that has the lighthouse. :-)

And.. BTW.. it was T.S. Claudette... and, yea.. it was 48" in 24 hours... if you stayed dry then, you're good to go!

I'm west of your previous location by about 3-4 miles. Got my batteries and water earlier in the season, as for the Oreos - just got back from HEB and they were re-stocking the shelves like mad.

We had to pack things up a work so I didn't get home until after 8:00 pm last night. You couldn't get to a gas station or a grocery store last night. There were lines at the gas stations and the HEB was busy too at 6:00 am. I didn't need too much - mainly snacks for me and treats for the doggies (I don't want them to eat me in my sleep for running out of their goodies!).

I've put all the potted plants and things that might blow away in the garage with the cars, so I should be good to go at this point. I will fill up the bathtubs with water and all that's left to do is wait for Ike to come calling!
