Anybody else in southeast Texas?  We gonna get pounded.  I'm just north of Houston so I'm going to be on the east/ugly side of this thing when it hits.  Happy happy, joy joy.

Here's the newspaper website if you want to follow the carnage:

We got nearly seven inches of rain, and 50 mph winds from Gustav. We're 600 miles inland from New Orleans, and 515 miles inland from Houston.

I hope you guys will be alright down south.

Hell, we got 3 inches in one day from Gustav, caused a leak in my roof. And, I am way up here in Iowa. Looks like Ike will stay south. We will be thinking about you guys, though.We have old friends in Beaumont, Texas. I bet they are worried.

I am sorry for wishing it away disco.  ;)  I live an hour south of San Antonio and we were the target 2 days ago. Now it is heading towards you and my future/father-inlaw who lives on the NW side of H -Town. But it is still 1 1/2 days away so it is still anybodies ball game.

How bout them Astro's ?   :clap:

HAhaha!  It's all good!  Maybe it will drive the Katrina Krimewave evacuees back home.  Gustav didn't do anything at my place.  Got a nice breeze and maybe an hours worth of light rain.  That was it.

I'm going to work tonight and then when I get home it's time to batten down the hatches.  A buddy stopped by and said there was a line going INTO Walmart.  He said you know if there's a line going in the store, it's going to be empty the time you get in there.
