Thanks everyone. We are running around fighting crowds for the last of the prep. We have many people that may be making it up to our house.

Stay safe Pops, thinking about you and your family.

Its a Category 4 Hurricane now, jesus. There will be catastrophic and historic flooding in Houston. Keep them in your prayers because Texas doesn't force people to evacuate. Many stayed.

Pops and anyone else there please stay safe. Hoping for the best for all those in the area.

Stay safe Pops... I have an aunt in Houston and so far so good because not much has really hit there... yet. She says they are staying put. Good Luck to all in the path of this storm.

At least the landfall and the 130 mph wind missed all the major coastal towns. The flooding if the rainfall is anywhere close to predicted will be awful enough without the debris and massive power outages if Harvey had barreled into Galveston/Houston.

Yeah got pretty lucky on where the storm hit. Had it hit somewhere else it could have been really bad. But they aren't out of the woods yet. They are saying this storm could stick around until wednesday

Heavy rain now in Splendora. We will be under a tornado watch pretty much all weekend. Currently it goes until 1pm today. I'm sure that will be extended. We do have a home generator so I'm not too worried about the electricity going out because that won't happen but the tornadoes are my biggest fear.

I'll try and keep everyone updated.

Hurricanes, record level flooding, and now tornadoes, wtf? Flooding water is probably one of the most unforgiving fights with nature. We've had a few battles up here with the Red River, and it's not something I want to do again.
Thanks for the updates. I feel for you guys down there. It seems unreal that amount of water and high winds can be dumped on people and all you can do is hunker down, wait it out, and forward with clean up.
Best wishes, Pop.
