Good morning, my little pile of storm refuse. :)

Oh yeah, way inland. The worst we'll see is some storms, tornadoes, and flooding. :D It's ok, we're used to that. :) I feel sorry for the people on the coast and coastal islands, they stand to lose everything.

Ya know, Galveston also celebrates Mardi Gras with a fairly big parade -- nothing like NO but....

Any other Gulf coast towns that have a Mardi Gras celebration with tits and beads?

Reading the local weather statement on the Golden Triangle site they basically said if you live in a trailer you can kiss it goodbye. :rolleyes:
