Been making final preps here.
My small cottage that I finished out and insulted about 2 years ago is my bug out shelter.
That's a cozy little bug out shelter that you have there Barry, stay safe and I'll be keeping you guys in my prayers. One question though, why would you insult your cabin and how does one go about insulting an inanimate object? Starman, Leroy, etc I can understand but a cute little cabin should be praised not insulted. 😁 Be careful guys.

Been making final preps here. My small cottage that I finished out and insulated about 2 years ago is my bug out shelter. I have a generator hooked up to it, will have a/c, small fridge, lights and emergency supplies. Bed set up in there already. I'll head there when the electricity goes off. Should have laptop and a hotspot working there too. (depends on whether Verizon tower stays operational or not) Even have a coffee maker in there.  ![[Linked Image]](http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/rockinbbar/barns1_zpszp7jwubp.jpg) I have the generator in my tractor barn behind the building. It is on blocks in case water gets high, and have 35 gallons of gas to run the generator. And a tree dangerously close to it...

And a tree dangerously close to it... Whole ranch is covered in those oaks. That one is a live oak, and not terribly worried about it, but will be monitoring them all that close. I have my saw ready and already told wifey that if I thought they needed to go, I was cutting them. I can fell a tree in the direction I want, but would rather do that than cut it off the buildings, etc. after it falls.

The bad part is the predictions it will get close to San Antonio and do a reverse and counter-clockwise spin towards Houston. That was the problem with TS Allison that devastated Houston with probably the worst flooding in Houston's history.

They should evacuate Houston to New Orleans. That's funny!  The reverse happened a few years ago. They can all go home now... Texas wouldn't be sorry to see them leave.

Pt has her kids in from Austin. She said they were advised to evacuate if they were in areas that were near or in areas of flooding last year. 12-14 inches expected there.

Light rain in La Grange and the wind has picked up just a bit. Starting to act like its coming.
I"ve been told that for us in the volunteer fire, its mandatory at the station, starting Saturday morning through sunday evening. No one is supposed to be at their home, all at station ready to act.
I dropped 50 gallons in the airboat this morning( mine is down but have the neighbors boat instead) and 30 in my F350 so we should be set if we have to use the airboat. 2nd airboat coming in later this evening on standby.
I don't think they have an idea what its going to do. How can they when its moving slowly and building. Could do just about anything at this point and for the next week basically.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Been in trouble before , Barry but I never needed one equipped to stay in that long.
