IMO leave if you can. If this turns out to be a powder puff no problem. If not all
bets off. This is looking like as powerful as Ike and that was not very nice, Stay safe everyone. |

Hey IMS, that would be us that is just a little north of y'all, west side of Copano bay. We are hunkered down already. We are 20' above sea level at the house, although the road at the south end sloughs are only a couple of feet and to the north the Mission river and creeks will cut us off from civilization for a few days. I am sure going to miss our air conditioning, Danged! Y'all take care, we will perervere again..........cC |

you guys be safe... i know a lot of you already have each others phone numbers, but with tidal surge, etc. possible that cell towers go down or limited signal, maybe post your phone numbers or have them on profile incase we need to get ahold or pass on info for you guys..
be safe, stay off the roads unless you are in a boat

If you guys have a 2 way radio (marine or frs) you might want to coordinate channels with the other folks staying. Very high probability that the cell system will be down for a while.
Again, prayers and good luck. |

Truer words have never been spoken. Be safe Stan. We got it battened down here. A few blocks away, on the other side of Waldron.

Should be able to fish from your deck. Stay away from fly fishing. Advise surf gear.
