Well, it looks like we're going to take a direct hit from this one; I'm actually a little nervous. Here's hoping my apartment doesn't blow away. Wish me luck!

Whats the worst that could happen to you? I thought you were rather inland? At least enough to not worry about flooding ect.

Aren't you by Houston? Not that it matters, because the entire east coast of TX is supposed to get some, but I think Houston to Corpus Christi is the real hot zone. Do you have a place to go if necessary, Tsu?

Teaos - yeah, I'm about 60 miles inland, but they're still expecting 10 inches of rain and up to 100 mph winds here.
Mikey - not really. My plan is to batten down the hatches; my apartment faces north, and the wind is coming from the south-east. Even if power is out for days, I've got enough food and water, medical supplies, etc.
Rochey - thanks, man. She's going to hunker down as well; she's about as safe as I am.
They're telling people who arent in the 15-18 foot storm surge area to stay put and let those that are evacuate.

I've been stocking up for a few months now; I think I should be fine, barring my apartment collapsing. Which could theoretically happen...
Nah. I'll be fine.

Thanks for reminding me. I'll charge my camera battery tonight.

I would if I had any boards. My windows are all covered by blankets anyways. I never took all the stuff down from hurricane Rita here three years ago.
