    I'm East of Houston. Just rain and a little wind here. Think my turn will come later if it follows expected track. Hope it's not as bad as Alison was here. She dropped 30" of rain. Hope the people south and west are well. I keep you in my prayers.

    Just watched a video on the Weather Channel showing someone this morning in Houston driving through blowing burning debris.....very scary!! Reminded me of the Smokey Mountain fires we had here in TN a few months ago. Wind, rain and flooding is one thing, blowing burning debris has to be Hell!

    Our prayers are with you folks in Texas!!!

    Jlander I have a lot of friends in Huffman & I used to own property there but I know they're partying. That's what they do there. You must be out closer that way than where I'm at now. I'm in Sugar Land.

    I live in Chambers county. Up on the top of Trinity bay. No parties around here though. I could use one. No wind here from Harvey, but the feeder bands just won't stop. Saw that they are going to start releasing water from Addicks at 2am, then Barker later as both are nearing capacity. You guys in Sugarland have been getting hammered all day.

    Stay dry my friend.

    One day shy of landfall, a relative of mine was quoted as saying the news media were playing up the potential devastion that could be unleashed by Harvey, so therefore "fake news."

    How dumb do you have to be to question the veracity of weather forecasts?!
