We have friends and family in San Antonio, Houston and in Helotes, TX and they are all saying stores are emptying out, gas lines are long and the highways are congested. Some reports are saying that fighting has broken out. This is why we preach the gospel of being prepared.... My family members in Houston have not forgotten Tropical Storm Allison that dropped so much rain that it was almost up to the highway over pass signs, she has reminded people not to be complacent but yet they are.
She posted this to her social media account it was June 2001
Nearly 35 inches of rain is expected, as this monster not only makes one landfall on Saturday but eventually a second one sometime later in the weekend. The darn thing is just going to sit there and meander across the coastline of Texas, which is by far the worse case scenario for any tropical system. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those in the path.
Please heed all the warnings and stay safe....

Captain Crunch is down there on the coast somewhere. I hope he makes out ok. He was on the U.S.S. Puget Sound, as was I, so we keep up with each other.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that its gping to sit there and spin for several days is going to be hellish... I hope CC and his family got out. I know of a couple more blogger friends in TX but I dont think they are that far south

Its really bad. And supposed to sit over that area until Tuesday
DeleteI thought about getting another 5 gallon gas can. But didn't I told the kids we could end up paying $3.00 a gallon in a week. Depending on damage in TX. We had heavy rain here tonight. At first light it will be interesting to see how much flooding we have. Nothing like TX.
ReplyDeleteHope you are not near Dallas, they are saying there will be no gas there by Labor Day.
DeleteAmen... Those who do not learn from history are destined to repeat it... sigh
ReplyDeleteI just don't get it, why do democratic public officials always tell people to stay home in a catastrophe when republicans tell people to leave. The Dems are 0-2 in major hurricanes now. Some people will never learn.
DeleteMy brother is in San Antonio area. Three hours of power loss this am, but otherwise doing well. He is well prepared.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that he is ok and doing well. How much influence did you have on his preps?
