Good to hear, wishing all the best for the weekend.
No electricity is bad of course.. no refrigerator, and no subsimming

Cat 3 for not able to play, and I rate it cat 4 that there is no cold beer.

Adds up for a cat 7, in my book.

Indeed. Just give me juice! I can take the rain.

Was this a 3 or a 4 when it landed? Getting conflicting news reports on this.

130 mph winds puts it at the top of a cat 3 hurricane chart.

8:00 am




By 1;00, water was in the garage but not the house, and we left. Walked a block and caught a boat.

The good news is that the creek has begun to drop.

Was a 4, but the problem for Houston was never going to be the hurricane wind and whatnot. It's the rain bands that it keeps pulling from the gulf. It's almost stationary and keeps sweeping more water into the area.

Luckily I'm high and dry at this point. Many folks aren't.
