It's actually a nice day outside. Moderate temperatures with a nice breeze from the east. You wouldn't think that 250+ miles southeast of here churns a massive hurricane.
Well, I've done some work around the house some more. Took a couple more items from the backyard and put them in the garage. Taped and cardboarded up some windows. Still some to do.
They forecast the eye to make landfall near beaumont. They estimate that winds in my area (Katy) will be right around hurricane force (70-75 mph). This will last for a few hours. So we are OK for now, hopefully completely prepared for the worst, but hoping for the best.
Roads in and around Houston are clear. Most everyone that wanted to get out has gotten out. No long lines on the freeway. But that's in Houston. No telling how it is in Dallas / Austin / San Antonio.
There was a fire on a bus taking elderly people from Bellaire to Dallas. Unfortunately, 24 people aboard the bus (of 45) perished.
I'll write more as time goes by. Right now, must continue prepping the house.
