Thread: Hurricane Harvey

When I lived in Houston, hurricanes meant "Hurricane Parties". We would muster in a friends basement or other safe place, everyone brought food, booze, Army helmets, smokes, bedrolls, guitars and other essentials. We always had a reason to party back in the day.

Well, I hope them Texas Boys are doing Okay.

I live on the Outer Banks of NC, and based on my experience, the folks along the Texas coast better be leaving or boarding up, not partying.

Here every year we have at least one or fwo storms brush most of us, but devastate those 25 or 50 miles away. Sometimes is us who gets whacked.

Prayers are probably called for now for those in Harvey’s path.

I second that one! Hold on to your hats guys and the best of luck to you all!

My family riding it out in northwest Houston. I'm stuck, broke down in Harrisonburg, VA.

Prayers for everyones safety and hope all you guys down there are riding it out well.

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.

View outside is beginning to remind of the the old saying involving a cow and a flat rock.

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.
