Don told me that Houston is so big that he doesn't know when a hurricane hits the coast.
It MIGHT rain at his house.
I hope he's right.

Thanks, guys. If you listen to the local weather reports, we need to get into a fetal position and get ready for the end. Earlier they said it should rain about 10 to 12 inches this weekend, but that wasn't dangerous enough so now it is estimated at 30 to 40 inches. If that doesn't help their tv ratings, nothing will. I walked outside a few minutes ago and we were having a little spring shower. It wasn't sprinkling enough to open an umbrella, but I did see three leaves fall from one of the trees.

I will be safe and sound as I live in an area of Houston that doesn't flood. I have a standby generator that runs on natural gas, propane, or regular gas. I have 35 gallons of gas in the garage, 2 full propane tanks, and all the natural gas that I can suck out of the line. I've got a freezer full of meat, frozen pizzas, and ice cream. I've got 300 lbs of oak pellets for the pellet pooper. I have a whole-house water filter so I don't have to stand in line for water at the store. Everything is good so far. Fingers crossed.

Not trying to be flippant, but I am looking forward to the down time for the next few days. Kinda treating it as a small at-home staycation. It's been awhile since I don't have to go anywhere for the weekend. Thank you for your concerns. I'll keep you posted as to what's happening.

UPDATE ON HURRICANE HARVEY..........

At my house in NW Houston, I had wind gusts to 7 mph and about an inch and a half of slow rain overnight. Right now, I am outside with no wind at all and only a small drizzle. So far, we have dodged the bullet. I've got 10 lbs of chicken leg quarters on the pellet pooper and trying to fight off the mosquitos. Northeast of me by about 5 miles, they are experiencing flooded streets, but no word if any houses have any water intrusion.

My favorite fishing town, Rockport (about 200 miles away), was blown away last night. Back in the 50's, my dad would take me to Rockport to stay at the Sea Foam Motor Court in Rockport to fish. They had a lighted pier that jutted out into the bay for about 300 yards long. We would start fishing about midnight and by 3 or 4 in the morning, we had caught about 50 to 60 speckled trout, croakers,reds, and flounders. Great times and great memories with my dad.

NEW UPDATE....

It has been raining hard for about 6 hours. Maybe 4 to 6 inches an hour at times. I am still high and dry thanks to 7 - 6 inch drains I put in the back yard. They drain straight into the city sewer system. Even so, they are having a hard time keeping up. I have had to go out in the rain twice and clean the pine needles, leaves , and small twigs off the top of the grates. I finally removed the grates and they are just letting everything go down just fine. There have been 11 tornados in and around me with a lot of damage. The closest one to me was about 12 miles. Dodging the bullet so far but they say this stuff could stick around until Wednesday. Keeping my fingers crossed.
