Im sure its been said a bunch of times already, but we want our Texas campfire members to be safe, and hopefully ride this out without consequence.

in lowly lying grave sites, possibly or probably a lot of casket remains popping up out of the ground due to water pressure. just tract them, lasso them, and tow them back to a dry dock, and begin the process of identifying the remains. they can be placed back into the appropriate burial plots later.
nothing simple about a big flood.

Up here in Idaho and knew nothing of the storm until this thread. We fly back to San Antonio tomorrow and help move our son to College Station on Saturday. It appears we will get a bit of whether. U better have good rain gear. SA to CS is about through our area.. 22 inches forecast here, mostly Saturday and Sunday... FWIW I wouldn't even attempt that move personally. Yep, the trip has been cancelled. He is there and we just had a smooth landing in San Antonio and are heading to Boerne.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

Weather is saying very possible Cat4 before landfall. If not, it'll be close to it.

You should not answer the door because you should have evacuated already. Good luck and stay safe.

You should not answer the door because you should have evacuated already. Good luck and stay safe. I'm inland from the coast several miles. Not good, but no storm surge here will occur. Just wind and rain. Even in the areas the mandatory evacuations have been ordered, they are not going door to door forcing people out. Victoria County has a curfew from 10pm until 6am. They say if you are on the streets, you will be arrested. To stop looters, I imagine.

hopefully fema and the relative state & local people are organizing to get water to the people who are left behind, stranded, or in dire straits.

OH [bleep]........JIM CANTORIE IS IN CORPUS......WE'RE SCREWED....&%!"&&# I've had the Weather Channel on all day, but muted. A cute gal has been on the Riverwalk in San Antonio all day, and some tall black guy I've never heard of has been covering Corpus from down on Shoreline Blvd. I saw where the winds had hit 75-80mph there in Corpus and wouldn't ya know, Cantore takes the place if the tall black guy who has been on all day. First thing Cantore does is move out on to Shoreline Blvd and let the wind batter him around while he proclaims how bad it is. Idiot. Is it wrong to ask that a large piece of driftwood or concrete curb fly through the air and smack him upside the head? Is it? Ed

Good fortune stx, and Barry. Dr Rocket said they boarded up and bugged out to a ranch in Beeville. Hang in there Roger. Take care and God bless all conservatives. Premature trip to Hell for the rest.
New Orleans and most of Houston should evacuate to Afreaka, post haste.

If there is good news it is landfall and low tide coincide..

Hang on to your hats and stay safe, gents. Shoot looters on sight.

Yup, and Cantore is still standing out in it. come on driftwood... Looks like landfall (this time) is at Rockport. They're still talking about it strengthening more and then moving back out into the Gulf before making landfall somewhere along the coast east of there, maybe Galveston. Ed
