...Had on home invader shot here on the south side of CC. And a head shot, no less! Glad it worked out for the homeowner. I have a friend, retired CCPD Detective, who lives just a few blocks from there. Pretty nice neighborhood, I guess. Ed Good shooting!

Don't worry folks, FEMA will be on the ball shortly and straighten everything out  . Glad to hear it hasn't been worse and most people left.

I'm glad to hear none of you folks are on the casualty list!

FOX News reporting 300,000 are without electricity! Surely that's a misprint ?

There's some great people here! I've had offers of help for people that are not close at all... Great folks here. Many thanks! Storm's not over by a long shot. Lots more rain to come. I just need to to dry out some. Well, that and electricity too..  Thank you all!

I think that storm just sat on Rockinbbar for most of the day. I'm thinking about moving down his way. I want to be close to the coast, but not have to run from a hurricane. Who would have bet a hurricane would make it to Victoria? (Possible, obviously since it just happened, but who would have bet?) Still thinking about moving there. NOTE: Technically, Barry didn't run from the hurricane!

I think the eye is only about 20 miles NW of me now. It just hasn't moved. Thank God the winds subsided. It was pure hell from 11pm last night until after daylight this morning. Local weather guy said gusts at 130 mph. I don't know, but it sure wasn't giving me warm fuzzies... Literally hundreds of oaks down here at the ranch. Not even been to the back, other than to check the cows. They were damn glad to see me today!

How much rain so far in your area Barry? Not a clue. It was raining sideways at a high speed, with most missing the rain gauge, and still dumped 6" out because it was full. Probably twice that. 12" or more. Saying 24" or more yet to come...

Thoughts and prayers - hang in there.

You have to be close to a lot of my friend's places.
Take care.

Richard I can be in either Victoria, Cuero, or Goliad with a 25 mile drive. The only thing worse than going through a hurricane out in the sticks, is going through one in some damn town!

One is at Weiser, one near Weesatche, and the other is behind that closed down Rest Area after Meyersville but before the Y headed to Cuero. Wife and I are from Kenedy and KC. My mother in law is seeing lots of rain but everything is OK so far in KC.
Plenty of action on my phone from the one in Weser. No signal I assume from Carl (rest area) because I have heard nothing for nearly 12 hours..

Good to hear you made it through aight, tho the wind was still whipping a bit when you made that vid. Been through a tornado or two myself but never a direct hit. Seen it rain sideways and all ways and blow people sideways mid step. That's a small scale (geographically speaking) compared to a hurricane but tornadoes are over in minutes and sometimes more intense. Not a days-long affair. These days it's earthquakes and mud slides I gots to worry about. You all keep safe.
It's about like this:
"Do you puff peters?"
"Hell no!"
"NAZI!!!"
