Folks,
As you may know (if you have been watching the news the past couple of days?), our number has been called in Houston. We have not had a direct hit storm for over 20 years, and this one's going to be a bad one!
Fortunately for me, my home is quite a distance from the water at around 50 or so miles inland, so I am not concerned over the storm surge; which is predicted to be around 15-20 feet high at Galveston Island. The entire island will be under water if this happens, as well as everything for 10-20 miles inland. To add insult to injury, the storm is expected to hit at high tide, making things even worst.
I am ready to ride it out in my home. I have sufficient supplies for a week or two, and I have a 5000 watt generator and nearly 30 gallons of fuel for it.
Landfall is expected early on Saturday, so that will be a rough day for us. It will take about 10-14 hours or so to fully be past us.
The Cobra R is safe inside my garage. More importantly of course is I have a plan and have been preparing for this for a few days now.
Please pray for the poor folks who live near the coast. It will be very ugly down near the coast.
