Don John of Austria Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Sent Kilroy and the little ones to Canyon Lake, thats north of San Antonio for you yankees. I am here boarding up the house, plan to ride it out. As long as one of my multiple trees doesn't come down on the house things should be fine. I figure this house was here for at least 7 or 8 major hurricanes it should be fine. Anyway no need to freak out, its just a little wind and rain.

But i don't think this will be Allision like---- more likely it will be like Alica, wind damage, tornadoes that kind of stuff. I guess it could be like both--- that would um "smell like elderberries" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Therese Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Well the prediction is that the eye will go right over my county here in Texas.We're sure to get hurricane force winds and like ten inches of rains with possible flooding. The real danger for us is tornados generated by the rotation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tgold I hope all goes well with you! Sugarland looks like its going to get it hit hard also. I hope your stuff at your home is ok [/quote]I'm glad that you're safe. Thanks for checking in on me. I got a billion phone calls, text messages and e-mails today. I feel so loved! According to the flood zone people, my place is 11 feet above sea level. They are predicting a storm surge of 22 feet. My place has 9-foot ceilings. There will be [i]nothing[/i] left. It's a good thing that I don't place emotional attachment on inanimate objects that can wash away. The dog and I will be fine in Sugar Land.
