I hope our Texas family members will be ok....looks like the storm is to the south, and hopefully will be only a storm rather than a hurricane. Any of you out there in the path?

[Emmit]

she's little.....it'll be no problem.

We'll get some rain, and of course anytime there's rain in Houston it's almost like New Orleans it floods (guess that's what they get for buiding a major metropolitan in a bowl), but I don't think it'll be too much to worry about. Just so long as it isn't liek Allison a couple of years ago, that flooded out I-10 and major parts of the city....

[MoogLe]

i wish you luck emmit and all the rest of texas

[warpedx]

I-10...shudder.....I hate driving that freeway cross country. West of San Antonio its an incredibly boring drive.

[Emmit]

try the drive from Lake City to Pensacola.......the only thing there is Tallahassee to break it up....then it's bad again from about I-12 to West of Beaumont.....about 45 minutes outside of Houston it picks up again

[Emmit]

I'm either being a little more lenient, or was willing to spend the time to delete the offending posts.......so I did so and re-opened it, either keep it on track or it will get closed again

[Gary1]

??? oh, well. Any Texans reporting the storm today? Hope you guys are ok...

[Emmit]

yeah I'm already feeling the affects of it.....and it's supposed to rain ALL week

[Gary1]

Hip waiders or boats? I read San Antonio (sp) was getting it pretty hard....guess it will be the "river swim" rather than the river walk :sad:

[Emmit]

right now it's just regular rain up where I live, we haven't really gotten any wind, and there's no flooding yet....I've been listening to the radio and no one has said anything about flooding or anything like that around town, so I'd have to say this is either a very VERY mild storm, or the worst is yet to come.

[idirtryder13]

ARe u guys still ok. I was just watching the 6 oclock news (pacific time) and the storm looked like it was pretty big. But i dont know what area the storm is in and where u guys live.

[johnnyboy8698]

[cA$H mOnEy StUnNa]

i didn't think they got hurricanes in texas

[adamholz17]

i am going down to houston tomorrow, first time in texas, and was hoping to at least have some fun and do some swimming or fishing, but no Its gots ta rain. I tell ya. Hope it clears up to have some fun down there.

[Emmit]

woke up this morning, and it looks a lot nicer out....the sky was calm, no rain right now...

looks pretty calm right now here in Houston, and it's pretty much gone. We'll still probably get some rain and some thunderstorms, but that's about it.

[jabbster]

Wow, you guys didnt get anything. It showed some crazy wind and rain, but guess that must have been on the coast...

Sincerely,

The jabbster

[Emmit]

well that was as of this morning....yesterday was a different story.....but all in all Houston really didn't get hit that bad I don't think...Houston is a huge city tho, and maybe I just haven't seen what some of the Southern parts got :dunno:

Roy, some people just don't understand that many hurricanes hit the bahamas, and cross into the Gulf area, hitting the Yucatan, and then are likely to hit the US anywhere from South Texas all the way back to FL (in the most extreme case of a 180 degree turn). While I don't think Texas sees as many hurricanes as say South FL, we do get our share...as does the rest of the Gulf Coast.

Oh i am from tennessee. That explains it all.
