No worries for me. I have a ton of home cured meats and home canned food. I have bleach to purify water a river plenty of wood and 5 gallons of kerosene and mineral oil to get wet wood started. Not that I would need any of it where I live but you never know. Couldn't care less about light. |

The same from here in South Carolina. Knowing so many of you good posters from Texas are having to deal with this makes it feel closer to home. Be careful and remember the sun WILL rise again.

Worth, sorry- where are you located in reference to the storm? I'm not sure where Bastrop is. Our thoughts are with all of you down there.....

I live 30 miles southeast of Austin. Wind and rain is what we will get. They predict around 15 inches but you never know. One of my life long friends lives in Richwood Texas on the coast next to Freeport. I just texted him and wished him well. He is doing fine. |

Yes, our friends who come stay with us from time to time. I saw the sign to Bastrop on our way here last night.

My treat. I may very well have to work tomorrow in Manor. My project went to crap today. I knew it would and warned them, long story. |

Thanks Worth- I was supposed to travel to Freeport next week- I guess that will be cancelled!
I'm just so glad you aren't on those barrier islands along that eyewall.... |

It is tiring to say the least. One I had to drive home with water coming up in the floor boards of the company van from the storm serge. That one was like 1 mile an hour off or so from a hurricane and I was out in the darn thing. |
