Stay safe buddy and keep your powder dry! Thanks! Gotta go get a tractor at the olive orchard this morning, as it will be there awhile if I don't. Was asking for some rain a couple days ago. Looks like we'll get it!

Dang it! I think it is going to go north of us and leave us on the dry side. It'll just get hotter, if that's possible.

I hope this storm spares you any major damage and flooding. The appreciation of an expected hurricane is miserable.

They are calling Harvey as Cat3 storm before landfall now, with possibility of Cat4.
Things might get sporty!

I am on the advisory board of Texas Search & Rescue, TEXSAR. It is an all volunteer organization except for one paid employee that helps run the business and administrative issues. TEXSAR provides services to smaller departments and county governments that lack manpower to provide search and rescue services - at no cost to the requesting agency. TEXSAR has already received requests for assistance in four counties and especially the Corpus Christi area and teams from around the state are en route right now. The forecast is indicating that major flooding is likely, especially in the central Texas coast. Donations in any amount are much appreciated and very helpful and spent very frugally. Here is a link with what the donation amount will provide: https://igivehere.org/TEXSARTEXSAR: Texas Search and Rescue is an all-volunteer first responder organization with teams in Central Texas, North Texas, Gulf Coast, West Texas, and soon to be in the Coastal Bend. We provide multi-discipline Search and Rescue, Swiftwater Rescue, Wildland Fire, and Disaster Response services. TEXSAR serves all citizens of Texas and may only be deployed by the Governor; local, state and federal law enforcement; and relief agencies. TEXSAR volunteers are certified according to State and Federal standards and are ready to deploy at a moment's notice. All members pay for their own training and equipment.
