Quick update

At 9 pm, we still have power (although it's flickered a few times. I expect outage around midnight). We are sheltered in place, but we are safe from that horridly deadly storm surge. We are both far enough inland and at a high enough elevation (54 feet if you're wondering) that we won't see water.

The winds are forecasted as category one when they get to us. They're already starting to howl, and they should be twice as strong later on. That means we're in for a screaming meanie of a night, but the damage shouldn't be that bad. Everyone hope that our oak stays upright.

If I can, I'll post an update around noon tomorrow.

Glad to hear all is well so far, hoping your tree stays put. When I was about 6, we had a hurricane in New Orleans that left us with a tree on our roof and no power for 8 days. Fill your tub with water and hunker down - is anyone in Houston having hurricane parties? That's what the crazy New Orleanians would do. All the best-
