    This is crazy...I know my kids are out of school on Thurs. & Friday in DPISD and they'll be coming up to Dallas to stay with me...It'll rain up here, but by that time, it'll have lost the winds a little, at least I hope...

    The traffic out of Houston could be gridlocked on Friday.

    Please keep this in mind.

    There will be a big news conference here in Galveston at 2:00 PM (10 minutes from this post). I am going to watch it in our conference room and will keep you guys posted.

    I live in Victoria, from what they are projecting, we are in the middle of the projected cone. I dont want any of this, I am worried that if this hits it could destroy my home and job, this sucks.

    Our accountant's wife works for PISD and she received an email from the superintendent stating that PISD will suspend classes for the rest of the week.

    Deer Park ISD has also cancelled classes for the remainder of the week as well. My bosses wife works in the school district and she just called the office with the news.

    You would think CCISD and PISD would also cancel? I don't know any kids/teachers there so I'm not directly affected but I did attend both school districts.

    Are those in the Katy area likely to avoid the brunt of this hurricane? I have guests arriving today so I was curious whether we should make plans to go to SA or stay put.

    I just received and email from my work stating ALL hotel rooms in SanAntonio are BOOKED. So everybody thinking of going there need to pick a new location.

    That’s great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and
    Snakes, an aeroplane and lenny bruce is not afraid
    Eye of a HURRICANE, listen to yourself churn - world
    Serves it’s own needs, dummy serve your own needs. feed
    It off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, ladder
    Start to clatter with fear fight down height. wire
    In a fire, representing seven games, a government
    For hire and a combat site. left of west and coming in
    A hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. team
    By team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped
    Look at that low playing! fine, then. uh oh,
    Overflow, population, common food, but it’ll do. save
    Yourself, serve yourself. world serves it’s own needs,
    Listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and
    The revered and the right, right. you vitriolic,
    Patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty
    Psyched

    It’s the end of the world as we know it
    It’s the end of the world as we know it
    It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

    Six o’clock - tv hour. don’t get caught in foreign
    Towers. slash and burn, return, listen to yourself
    Churn. locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood
    Letting. every motive escalate. automotive incinerate
    Light a candle, light a votive. step down, step down
    Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means no
    Fear cavalier. renegade steer clear! a tournament,
    Tournament, a tournament of lies. offer me solutions,
    Offer me alternatives and I decline

    (chorus)
    It’s the end of the world as we know it (it’s time I had some time alone)
    It’s the end of the world as we know it (it’s time I had some time alone)
    It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (it’s time I had some time alone)

    I feel fine

    (repeat chorus)

    The other night I dreamt of knives, continental
    Drift divide. mountains sit in a line, leonard
    Bernstein. leonid brezhnev, lenny bruce and lester
    Bangs. birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! you
    Symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? right

    (repeat chorus)

    It’s the end of the world as we know it
    It’s the end of the world as we know it
    It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (it’s time I had some time alone)

    It seems to me that NOGAPS usually has a huge gap between it and the other models...

    Rain-wise, nowhere near Allison.

    Wind-wise, it could be enough to cause roof damage, downed trees, and miscellaneous flying objects...
