Hey Joel

Guess you better get the heck outta your area. Land fall in distance, just minutes
from you.

Good Luck buddy.

Hey Glen

I got my mother and sister out early this morning. My other sister who lives here left a few hours later. I am buttoning up everything at my moms house. Everything at my moms is good...........but I have a few things to do yet at my place.

Lauren, Brigid and Katie are staying with their disabled uncle and other grandmother who are just a couple of blocks away. That is why I am leaning towards staying. They are in a single story ranch style with a generator so are in fairly good shape.

We can survive a 17 foot storm surge with our levee system.

If I do wind up staying..........I am not staying at my house.............it is too rickety..............but my moms is ok. It and we survived Alicia and Carla. Please say a few prayers for us on the Gulf Coast of Tx. Galveston is expected to get tides up to 18 feet.

We would greatly appreciate it.

Will try and keep you up to date.

Joel

Thanks All

I just finished boarding up my Moms windows...............I have to pick up my laundry from my house.


I just checked in on my daughters and they are ok. Lauren and Brigid live in the NW side of Houston and they decided to be down here helping their grandmother, mother, and uncle. That may not be a horrible thing watching the storm track........The track puts the eys right over their house or just to the west.

We in Galveston County are hoping that this storm will track a bit west............but do not wish to have it on any one.

Joel

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
