It's Thursday evening here in Texas and the news today is all about Hurricane Harvey in the Gulf. It seems that it has suddenly gone from a tropical storm to a hurricane with the potential of causing havoc due to the possibility of it hanging around over the area for a few days.
I just spoke to my daughter in the hill country and she said that people are acting crazy and buying out the grocery stores - almost all the bottled water was gone when she stopped by on her way home from work.
Their area does have flooding problems so there is cause for some concern. Lots of road closures due to flooding is an issue. We are a bit worried as not only is there a problem for the next few days, but we had all planned to go down next week for our grandson's Air Force Basics Graduation in San Antonio. I really hope the weather stations are exaggerating and giving worse case scenarios that won't come true.
But since Harvey is supposed to reach landfall this evening (it's Friday morning here now), I guess we will know soon enough. I truly hope that those on the coast have evacuated, but knowing the South that I grew up in, many will not.
Please keep all this area in your thoughts and prayers...
We are thinking about all of those in Harvey's path. Hopefully all will heed the warnings. As for your last post, my favorite is the Crazy Cat Lady Starter Kit. Too cute!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed and purrayers to all....please stay safe and be well!
ReplyDeleteDear Rian, I hope that all turns out well for all of you. The forecasters often miscalculate. Let's hope they've done that this time. Peace.
ReplyDeletehope the hurricane is not devastating, we always keep a supply of food and water because you just never know when a disaster may hit winter or summer, they are already telling us our fuel may run low and start costing much more, good luck to you and all your family members in the storm and rains
ReplyDeleteYes, I saw this on the news, stay safe and lets hope you miss the worst of it.

oh my I just watched the news and it looks like the storm is going to be really bad, please stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI just saw that it's been upgraded to a Category 4 storm! I hope that it all turns out well for everybody affected. :-(
ReplyDeleteI hope that you and your family are safe. It must be a nightmare moving people out of hospitals and retirement homes when disasters occur. Thinking of you, -Jenn
ReplyDeleteSometimes the weather channel and general news room to hype potential storms so much it becomes tempting to discount their reports, But a Category 4 speaks for itself. My thoughts are with the area and the people there.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your family safe passage through the storm. Take care!
ReplyDeleteSunday at noon EDT and we're worried for you and your family, watching the coverage on CBC News. Hoping and praying you all will be safe (including all the critters, indoors and out).
