Pearland........Far NE side of Brazoria County and walking distance from both Harris and Galveston Counties. Zone C. Got my wife, mother-in-law, and seven week old........along with one of my nephews. Four vehicles with full tanks, plenty of food and water, plenty of charcoal and propane, a full liquor cabinet and >400 bottles of wine. I'm good to go.
77081 (near Bissonette and South Rice) I have plenty of food and water. This is my first real hurricane, so i am a little nervous...
My house is old and covered with trees, so I cant stay there even though I would like to. Staying with the parents near Briar Forest and the Beltway,although I wish I were staying with some buddies.
It's not for the storm, although I will have a few but not to get drunk. It's for AFTER the storm when all of the power is out and the stores are closed. I am prepared.
Gotcha. I'm sure lots of people aren't going to wait as long as you to crack open their beers though. "Woohoo! Here I am. Rock me like a hurricane!!! Hey, that mailbox just went through my bay window, but who cares? I'm wasted! Woohooooo!"
77071, near Braeswood and Fondren Stocked up for grilling if the power's out. Going to prep the house tomm, but no boarding.
We just mixed up our first batch of hurricanes!!! We are in Westbury, 77096, and will stay here. My biggest concern is the 2 big pine trees in the front yard. I was one of the idiots who evacuated during Rita, only to feel like a fool after driving 26 hrs and we didn't even lose power here. We have a full deep freeze that we may need to use up if the power is out for a long time. A pool to use to flush toilets. But, I am really hoping Ike is going to pull a Rita and keep trending east.
im pretty sure it isnt trending east anymore...it moved to the east of galvy but they moved it back with the next update.
77504 (Pasadena) I'm staying. Ive stacked up on all the supplies,as well as extra curricular supplies.
Katy area.. The in laws want the wife and I to go over to their place, but I was there for Rita and they were crazy.. I remember they wouldn't let us go upstairs plug in the TV or take a shower all while it was still sunny and fine out side.. I said "F" this and booked it the same day back to my house and the power didn't even go out.. I'm never going back to their place during a storm, well that's if I can keep the woman on my side of the argument..
