Wind and rain woke me up. Was trying to get some sleep, but it's roaring out there now.
Got one of my dogs to go out and pee. The other one wasn't having any of it...
He will though. Eventually.
Hope everyone else is holding on.

National Weather Service predicts and warns of "immense human suffering" in store for those in the storms path and not evacuating.
For real!?? How do they already know this? Do they just want to be right about their earlier predictions? How did we survive before these idiots got their jobs? Many of "you" didn't. Galveston, 1900As a Texan I am sure you know of the Galveston hurricane of 1900. "Those Idiots" didn't have those jobs, because there was no satellite, radar, or robust advanced warning. It killed 6,000 to 12,000 Texans. Having been in the position twice of being part of a skeleton Emergency Operations Center crew left behind when a major hurricane hits and everyone else is ordered out, I can speak from personal experience that it's for the pubic good. First responders and local officials don't just do it to ruin your fantasy football draft or put a damper on bingo night.

I hadn't heard about the SS on the arm deal? Rockport is full of artsy types, he might have been having some fun with them? I live a few miles from Freeport, barely raining now, wind has died - was blowing pretty strong a little earlier. We lost power for about a hour, but it is back on now - for now. Not too bad, really.
Mike I think he was trying to get the Mexicans to pull out. Many of them cant swim and many have floated the Rio Grande, all the way to the Gulf.

Like I said, or implied, before...the brunt of this storm will be carried by a bunch of tough sumbiches that you will never hear a squeak from. They'll just deal with it like they do everything else.
But don't think they're not getting hammered. They'd rather die than have people think they can't handle it.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

Pleasant here in Boerne at the moment and hard to believe the Weather Channel indicating 18 - 24 inches over the weekend? We shall see and we are set. Are they run by CNN?

Lots of wind and lightning here. Not much rain lately, but plenty earlier. Lots of tornado warnings this afternoon/evening, including now. Expect the same for tomorrow with increase in rain.

I heard on the Weather Channel that the good thing about this hurricane is that it's happening in the summer. So people without power don't have to worry about heat or the dangers of using space heaters.
Impressive

Yep, it ain't nothing to fug around with....Ike ![[Linked Image]](https://www.weather.gov/images/hgx/projects/ike08/images/bolivar/bolivar62(IMG_9193).JPG) That was a trailer park waiting on a funnel cloud. The only house that survived that storm surge was the only one built to current code.

Wonder how he is doing. Still kickin' Amigo! Was able to get some sleep. It's bad here now. We are in the crux of the storm. Eye is right below us and should be passing over sometime this morning. It's slowed down to 6mph storm movement. Very surprisingly, we still have electricity here...
