[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by edblysard</i> <br /><br />Mike, <br />As insensitive as this might sound, I think the the fact that Rita might head this way has caused some of the Dome folks to rethink where they have landed, and quite a few have found realitives a lot futher inland... <br /> <br />But there is a little panic going on here, a buddy of mine works at Home Depot, he called this afternoon, wanting to know if I needed him to hide some plywood for me...it didnt click...till he told me people were lined up out the front door to by the stuff. <br />Batterys, water coolers, rope, tarps and tape are going fast too! <br /> <br />Unless Rita stalls out over this part of Texas, I think it will do just like most of them, flood parts of Freeport, make Galveston's West end a mess, flood the low parts of IH10, and all the underpases in Houston...unless it rains long and hard up hill from you guys, I dont think you have a lot to worry about. <br /> <br />At least, I cant remember the Colorado river getting out of its banks around there, although that little horse farm down under the bridge on the north west side of IH10 looks like it might flood easy... <br /> <br />So unless Rita does like Tropical Storm Allison, and sits on top of us, dropping 2 to 4 inches of rain an hour, for 24 hours, I think we can ride her out... <br /> <br />On the other hand, if the Houston Emergency Management says its turned this way, and is above a cat 3, and they reccomend leaving, then keep your eyes peeled for a black Dodge Magnum Station wagon...I will honk as we go through, heading to my sister's house in the hills outside of San Antonio! <br /> <br />As my middle daughter like to say, "Dad, your old, but not stupid"... <br /> <br />Ed <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />It seems like Houston is doing a lot better job of preparing than NO. Have a nice trip to SA. I might see you on the way to Kerrville. <br /> <br />m
