Power is starting to flicker out here in Katy, not because of high winds, but I think because of a faulty connection somewhere that the slightest breeze is aggravating. It's been nice all day. I did go ahead and board up the front door glass (leaded), as most of the stronger winds we'll get (60+) will be from the north, and the house faces north, as we'll be on the west side of the storm.
It's not supposed to get real dicey until early in the morning. By 10am, the worst should be (hopefully) over.

im watchin the news and it might be a type 3 or 2 i hope it won't hit harris county as hard as galveston

The hurricane has been updated and will be moving slightly to the east of Dallas, so we will get the rain and an estimated 40m/p/h winds which is nothing special. Y'all down south are in for a rough time, keep safe and keep indoors.
-
south? like how much south? cuz im here in houston the winds are getting stronger and stronger
-
..... what's the latest news ...... Hello Todd .... are you
still in one piece?Mike
-
Hey Ray! Was it exciting or scary in Houston? Hope you, family & friends are fine!
From the TV reports sounds like power is out for millions.
-
Hope you all are all right

I believe both Todd and Ray are lights out, they said 4.5 million users are without power in the Houston area.
Some serious damage too, yikes the sea level rose 17ft and totally over ran the sea wall. The damage is being calculated in $ billions.
-
I hope everyone is ok too. Anxious to hear back from Todd and Ray when things settle down or they get power back or whatever they need.

I hope Todd and Ray are both ok. I have relatives about 30 miles north of downtown Houston and they phoned briefly yesterday to say they were ok, but the house was in a mess...holes in the roof, windows smashed. It doesn't look like many in the Houston area are going to escape unscathed.

Todd
I hope you and your family and friends are all fine. Best wishes and please give us the thumbs up sign when you are able to get back on line.
Regards

Lights out, flooded cars, and i heard downtown is a total mess. I think its about more than 4 feet of water. I went to pasadena and on my way there i saw this big giant hole on this big building. it really hit us hard and thats not even the whole thing. I saw the news that its going up north. Im writing this from a laptop conected to this generator my dad got for about 6 of our apartments. i hope todd had as much luck as i did.
-
Good to hear your in one piece ray
-
Yes good to hear from you Ray. Mother nature has a way of showing us all who is truly the boss. I hope you and your family are doing as best as you can in the face of such a devastating storm.
-
Glad you made it Ray. Hopefully Todd did too.
I was reading a report from a woodworker in the same community Todd lives in. They lost part of a fence and had a leak around a roof vent. Neighbors lost some shingles and power was out until late yesterday afternoon.
I hope Todd is just out picking up the trash that's blown around and nothing worse than that.

IKE REPORT Day 3: I had to get up today and help ma dad wit this lady whos tree fell on the neighbors truck. Everything ended for the best with the truck without a scratch but a bent antenna. we chopped the tree up pretty good and i got paid pretty good. I think todd hasn't answered yet becuz of the power shortage all we cAN do is wait to see what happened to him and his home.
