Good advice on the keyholes.

In addition, keep an eye out (if this thing hangs around as long as it’s been predicted) for tornadoes in the lee of the storm.

I went through Beulah in ‘67 while stationed at NAS Kingsville. Hurricane was bad enough (we lost a big chunk of the roof off a Bomb Shelter full of Navy dependents I was in charge of during the storm), then we got a couple feet of water after the thing chugged off inland and finally the ‘twisters went through and tore up everything that Beulah hadn’t hit.

Took us a couple weeks after the storm to clean up all the trees down in the streets over in Kingsville and everyone on an outside watch at the Air Station was dodging snakes that got run up on our “high ground” for the rest of September.

I’m in Montana now so don’t have much more to say but Via con Dios and holler if you feel the need for some out-of-town help. I figure I can be there in twenty or so hours.

Good reminder about tornadoes. We had tiny TS Emily come through FL a few weeks ago. The little bitty eye came ashore with a tornado. The lone twister did more damage than any TS winds.
