Hurricanes at Night are not Fun

Well it's Saturday morning now...early...The rains have started and our boys are crashed in the Christie Chrew's Hurricane Headquarters....

Channel 11 KHOU-TV here in Houston just had a rep from Centerpoint Energy on and already there are 725K people without power and he estimates that the final number will be excess of 1000K and it will take 2 to 3 weeks to restore power to all customers.....Does anyone have room for 6 refugee's from Tomball?

For those of you who have not had the pleasure of riding out a storm it is not fun, especially at night. You really can't see much but you can certainly hear the wind. It's like the energizer bunny it just keeps going and going. I am just glad the boys crashed already. I am super stressed right now as we wait for this monster to pass. Dr. Neil Frank said earlier that the winds may be that of a CAT2 storm the size and wind field match the that of a CAT3 or CAT4.

They showed a news crew on Galveston Island about 30 min ago and the storm surge has crested over seawall blvd. The seawall is 17ft tall! Holy Crap! That is a lot of water. The water is just running down seawall blvd from east to west. Galveston is in real trouble the storm is still 40 miles offshore.

I'll try and post again tomorrow.....talk to you soon
