Don't forget the beer and rum for the hurricane party. Also make sure you have enough to lasts the week. Those long days without AC are brutal. Especially for August in East TX. I'm hopeing we get a few this year I need more vacation.

Just saw a 10 min-weather special on it on TV, and how it develeoped over the past days, and it does not look nice. They said there is a risk that this turns into a real mean beast.

Good luck over there! As captain of the board, of course it is your gallant duty to keep this site running until the very end. Our well-being, our fates, who knows - even our lives may depend on subsim.com running on.

But don't feel being put under pressure.

The Lord said this storm would come to pass through me on July 17th ...

His exact words were, "A hurricane will broach Texas"

I didn't understand the word broach at first:

Broach (sailing) is a sudden change in heading angle of a sailboat, towards the wind caused by wind/sail interactions, that hull hydrodynamic reactions can't compensate for. This is principally due to the aerodynamic force on the rig greatly exceeding the hydrodynamic force on the hull, usually due to a sudden increase in wind strength.
[Such as a tropical storm that was about to drift out, but generated hurricane strength in a couple hours' time.]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broach_%28sailing%29

Broach (submarine) Submarines operating submerged are said to have broached the surface when a portion of the ship (such as the sail, bow, or screw) other than a mast or antenna comes out of the water. This is similar in intent, if not in 3-D direction, to the use of broach to describe instability in heading of a sailing ship.
