I put my car in the garage and lifted it about 4' in the air. Hopefully it survives seeing as I live on Toddville in Seabrook right on the water. The engine is out right now so hopefulley no matter what it'll still be here, if not RIP!!!! Later fellows, on my way out the door.

Good luck to you folks down there, this is a big 'un. Hell, it's almost as big as the whole state. The storm surge is going to be insane.

Ecosystems where all available resources are being used to their full capacity by native species can be modeled as zero-sum systems, where any gain for the invader is a loss for the native. However, such unilateral competitive superiority (and instant, equivalent extinction of native species with increased populations of the invader) is not the rule. Invasive species often coexist with native species for an extended time and gradually the superior competitive ability of an invasive species become apparent when its population grows larger and denser often after it adapts to its new location. IN OTHER WORDS, SAN ANTONIO CANT HANDLE HOUSTON KINDA HP..LOL JK

My house hasn't been flooded since built. (1977) I feel safe at home. Knock on wood. I still moved my Chevelle to a safer place and my truck will be inside with me.

Good luck everybody.

My family is staying put through this one. I'll be in the garage doing anything I can to prevent the garage from flooding.

I think the main thing we will need to worry, for people not on the coast, is the hurricane force winds.

I guess I am staying. Got plenty of Coors, Rum, and Tequila to keep me happy. The house has been fortified, but I am still worried about the garage door flying into my car. Jacked that bitch up as high as I can get it, so it should be safe from flooding.

Its going to be pretty damned scary tomorrow at about this time here in Seabrook. Luckily I will be drunk.

Was glad to hear it was not hitting Corpus directly. My whole family lives there, but I have alot of friends in Houston. Even have a couple coming to stay with me. They even postponed the Texas Arkansas game on Saturday and thats up here in Austin. Good luck everyone, hope this thing doesn't get any stronger.
