Not to mention what might have been crawling on the floors or in the mattress itself! Been in a few of those rooms myself over the years... But we're still alive and kicking what a funny story!

Stay safe down there! Hope you have the generators ready. Our electric was out for about 5 days during a hurricane. Everything in my house is electric and on a well, so luckily we at least had the camper where we still had a/c and a working potty and shower.

j/k about the room not having a toilet.

Gary if you own a boat, unstrap it from the trailer and tie a long rope to something secure. Quite a few people here did not do that and were stranded. Hope it doesn't come to that.

I bugged out of town late last night. Took everything inside and secured the house and took back roads up north and made good time compared to some people stuck in traffic for hours and hours.

For anyone that doesn't know me that well I live in Victoria. I call it Hicktoria from time to time but that's my hometown about to get royally ****ed in the ***. Born in Victoria. Lived in Rockport and Corpus too. So everything I've ever lived in and all my old friends and current friends and of course extended family all live in same area. No idea what's happening really. Just what my wife sees on Facebook. My 78 year old healthy as an ox father wouldn't leave and my brother and his wife stayed too so I guess thy made it easier for me to leave.
It's so weird. All these places these guys are standing at on the weather channel are all places I've stood at before.
My brother in law is riding it out with his teenage son a stones throw from the bay in Corpus.
It sucks being away but I made my wife leave late last night because we have 4 kids who still live with us at home and I remember what it's like without power and everything that goes with it from a couple of times I've been through them and those were smaller. I just pray that it passes quicker than what they are saying. I pray that it moves on and dissipates.
I also remember the people who tried to leave to late last time and were stranded on the highway or side of the road because they ran out of gas. It's just bad. I hate not being there but glad I'm not there.

I've already heard that my old High School in Rockport is completely destroyed. They got the brunt of the western eye wall and it ripped the roof off the high school and that was it. They are inside the eye right now. That's low lying country there. Whole peninsula barely above sea level.
Its about 60 miles due south from my house.

I know how you feel man. We hauled *** for Katrina and it was only because of possible wind damage. No point in riding those things out unless you absolutely have to. Hope your place manages ok thru this. Good thing is at least all the affected areas will drain quickly once it moves away. We also just went thru a major flood about a year ago. It sucks for sure but most of it all comes back eventually. You're about to get really busy when you get back home though. Gonna be some serious rebuilding when everyone gets home. Hang in there man.

I'm glad you got out, Gary. Better safe than sorry. I've been thinking of you and your family while watching the news.

My mom said just now that they are fine. Lots of limbs down and a tree. No leaks in house. But she said it just won't let up. The wind and rain has been bad all night and it's just as intense now as it was then. She's been through hurricanes before and they never just went on and on like this.

Been talking to my dad and mother and brother
Right now my house and their houses are fine
I've got some fence down and my back pasture full of water but not high water
Tree was down blocking the street at one end but he was able to go around the other street
Lots of limbs everywhere
Everything draining the way it should so far
Just no power and lots of limbs everywhere
So now my main problem is the storm I headed where I am late next week and will be blocking me getting home because of Bridge and road flooding between here and there. Might have to go a long way around out west.

It's hard not to watch all of the images being reported on the news. Just unimaginable..... aren't Steffers and Patrick both in the Houston area? If so, hope all is well with them!
