I've noticed some lines at gas stations and a run on bottled water at some western side of Houston grocery stores. We'll probably get a lot of rain if it parks it's slow ass over us for a while but the folks along the coast..... Corpus etc are probably going to take the brunt of it.

Hey, we ain't too far apart. Down here in Pasadena we've got bags on all the pumps, ATMs out of money, some water left, ice fucking everywhere, ironically. I've got the chainsaws ready to rock, some of my neighbors have big trees that tend to shed in good weather just waiting to ruin some shit. I dunno how bad it's gonna get, hopefully it dodges us, but some fat cats I know are saying it's gonna be worse than reported because they're trying to avoid panicing people or some such.
Looks like yawll will be alright inHouston. Somewhere between CC and Brownsville is gonna get wet. Batten them down. I remember what Celia did in 70. Corpus got shellacked.
Business as usual for the most part here. I did see an old, giant oak tree that was broken in half on one side. It was split from from the main "tower" & fell over. I assume it happened during a spell of about twenty minutes worth of heavy wind / light rain last night. Other than that, nothing here.
Grew up in real hurricane country (the Greater Antilles) and everyone unless absolute dirt poor was smart enough to live in reinforced concrete homes. Flooding was the only concern and my dad never bought low lying land.
To all my friends down there... say safe!
For three years, I Iived in El Lago, right between Galveston Bay and Clear Lake... and this was the storm I was terrified of. I know the place got flooded out a few years ago.
You guys ride this out ok!

I did sharpen up the Stihl this morning. I'm in the light pink from the map Tucker showed. That is up there with Allison totals. I wasn't here for Allison but I understand it was rather unpleasant.

I'm being veery quiet on the matter ...
I'm at ground zero.
Eye is gonna come right over us.
Getting the outer bands right now, hopefully it will help it break up and not reach cat 3.
Momma refused to evac and I work in a neighboring city so I can't be with her.
Do have a couple of friends on the PD there, they will check up on her,

While I concur, she is from a place that gets hit with typhoons 12-14 times each year.
I can't leave and she doesn't drive. She is more concerned about our material things.

Stick her in your jurisdiction's comm center and worry about building bridges in your relationship later, man. Fight with her now rather than bury her later.
the talking head just said it may hit 4 right before midnight when it goes ashore...
i sure as hell hope not, good luck texans

She got scared enough that she agreed to come, I had to leave the dogs in the house though
The hurricane is racist https://www.dailykos.com/stories/20...lacks-in-Texas-but-no-one-is-talking-about-it
So a house with black residents will get 50 inches of rain while his white neighbor will only get 12. What a bunch of fucking horse shit. the impact will depend on preparation level. which obviously requires money.
I will leave it at that.
Anyone here from around Killeen? I'm working at Hood next week, just wondering how f'd it is there...Assuming that flights are even making it in to Austin on Sunday.
Watching the Weather Channel turd-burglars doing their play-by-play... What a bunch of idiots.
Stay safe guys. But, damn, if I could get a wish today, it would be for all these Weather Channel rump rangers to get dragged out to sea and eaten by hammerhead sharks.
Damn.... I must be getting intolerant in my old age.

When she breaks out the Pappy and ice... you'll know you are in trouble.
Stay safe, Ameeg-o.

Mayor of a small town in direct path was advising folks that chose not to evac to write their name and SS number on their arm, so they could be identified later. That's pretty direct, I'd say.
We're an hour W/NW of San Antonio and bands are just reaching us. Have seen what 30" of rain overnight will do up here, when a low parks itself over the Hill Country, and it's a rodeo, certain.
Hope any of you further south are good. Have a bunch of friends in Rockport and inland areas, and count they've made the night safe.

Anyone hear anything from RO/Jacob.
Looked like they were going to catch the brunt of this deal.

There were some tornados that hit last night in a few places south and west of Houston. We have rain and some flooding but nothing major..... so far
Have had some large times at Arkie's. No colder a beer mid summer than AB's at 4pm. Would take a lot more than a hurricane to deter the regulars. Always a party and a parade in town.
