And perhaps stay away from windows and under a nice strong beam in the house?

Must be worrying.
You wouldn't get me outside for a gold clock...as they used to say. :lol:

State rules in Texas are all water systems are checked for bacteria after a storm. Towns that are evacuated will not let people return until water has been tested for coliform and ecoli bacteria.

I know because it's my job;)

That's good to know. I am lucky in the fact that our water treatment plants in the area are on high ground and we have never had issues with any e.coli etc. in the water.

Chris Christie has rescheduled Halloween for NJ! Guess he spent too much time fine-tuning his monster costume, to miss a crack at hoarding copious volumes of sugar and candy corn.

That's the spirit. And you can use the empties to send messages afterwards.
