Thank you NautiNurse. I just went to the old thread to reply and found it locked, lol.

I still see most of the ‘tracks’ coming right over the Victoria area, but it has edged to the east a bit and may more so.

This storm is being compared to Hurricane Carla in 1961. The eye of Carla went directly over Victoria but my parents home in Texas City had 18 inches of water from flooding. That’s over 160 miles away approximately. They now have a barrier built in Texas City.

Thanks to all who wrote me. To others on the thread, I have never ever heard of a hurricane reaching as far inland as Austin or Conroe but they may have rain and always the possibility of tornadoes.

Prayers for everyone. We don’t want Ike, but we hate to see it hit others too!! I missed my week down at South Padre Island because hurricane Dolly tore roofs off the condos. They all shut down for repairs after Dolly.

FUN, FUN, FUN....!
