Re: Harvey
We are still in Oregon for the eclipse, but booked to return on Saturday. We will decide what to do tomorrow. United are waiving flight change fee if return is Wednesday or earlier.
I only found out recently that it's the storm surge, not wind, that causes mandatory evacuations.
Looks like the biggest danger in Cypress will be the flooding, not the wind speed. There's an immense amount of rain forecast.

I did another shop this morning before the rain started. We now have beer, wine and nuts to last until the end of next week

Good luck everyone down there. Do you expect to lose power? If so, I suggest the fill-the-bathtub-with-water routine. I used to rather pooh-pooh it, but learned to my cost that it can be a boon; now I always get the tubs filled when a big one looms!

And candles. Votive candles?
The More You Know: It's finally legal to collect rainwater in a barrel in Colorado. It used to be a $500 fine. Crazy, huh?

This is probably God punishing Texas for all the queers and steers. It's Hurricane Andrew Redux.

We have water, both drinkable and a pool full of toilet flushing variety. We have flashlites and candles.

I hope that you all stay safe and that your homes are not affected by the storm or flooding.
