Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | SloRide - 2017-08-24 11:32 PM My mom is in Seadrift but she left today. We have sat out a few of these but nothing this big. I would not be surprised if it levels her house. The amount of rain fall they are predicting is insane.
Oh I feel for your mom poor lady I hope she dont lose her home either, but I have a feeling you could be right. All the Island towns are really in danger of getting wiped out, like Rockport, Mustang Island, Port Aransas and more.. I worry about all the tornadoes that will come from this hurrican.. |

I haven't watched TV in over a week and had no idea we were supposed to be getting storms.... I live under a rock sometimes... 
And in the mean time I need to call a few friends and make sure they're prepared...
We live on the top of a hill so I don't think my barn will flood. I do need to get some shingles for the dogs houses that are outside tho. They may appreciate a dry place to lay lol
How have you prepared? I can't remember how you have your place set up...
Are you good? Do you need anything? Awww Thanks for asking, but we are up on a hill so we dont have to worry about high water around the house, we have a creek that runs threw the front here and I'm sure it will be running, so we will be locked in but got plenty of food and eggs for sure my hens been laying like crazy lol..Going to bring the welder up here to use as a generator if we need it.. But its all good for us, my son is coming to pick up Sterling after he gets off of work so we dont have to worry about her out here just in case..Horses will be fine just going to get really wet thou. We got this I think 
I just love Sterling's name. It's precious. 
How's it looking this morning? Everything still fine at your casa?
Praying for all BBs involved. |

I had looked for a live stream but nobody had one set up. Port O'Connor does and things look windy but did not see any surge yet. And they just upgraded to cat 4.
Rock port and Corpus seem to be getting all the wind but Port Lavaca is getting the storm surge.

| I am very fortunate to be on the south west quadrant of this storm. We are west of Corpus Christi and have only had a little over an inch so far and regular high winds do far, but we are on the weak side of the storm. Sending prayers out to the people northeast of Corpus and up into Goliad up to San Antonio as they are also going to get hammered with very high winds and LOTS of rain. Sounds like the Houston area is already getting lots of rain, too. |

Yes, there had been plenty of warning and multiple offers to help move and house livestock. I understand having large numbers of cattle is difficult to move but there is really no excuse not moving your horses.
This flooding is going to be caststrophic on the dirty
and clean side of the storm. Since it is hitting landfall south of us and then just sitting, the rivers and tributaries are going to be full causing flooding up here and down south of us, no where for the runoff to go :(. |
