    Oh, sure, now you predict it. :)

    Definitely a cat 3 at this point and it looks to be midway between the southern Texas coast and the Bay of Campeche.

    If they get a good Hurricane on the Rio Grande maybe it will actually flow to the Gulf for the first time in a decade. By treaty Mexico owes the US some huge amount of water but since they have been in a drought for 10 years they keep getting further behind. A rainy but low wind damage storm would be a godsend for Mexican farmers and ranchers.

    Thanks for the kind words guys. My Granndma was 84 and while she was in declining health, the suddeness of her passing was a little bit of a shock. The whole family has really held up well throught this, and we all realize that she is now in a better place. My Grandma knew she was going the day she passed, and that made a lot of us feel a lot better, because she was happy about where she was going.

    As far as Emily,the boards are up, and the house secured, but I think we'll be dodging yet another bullet. The rain will do us some real good. My father and I are half jokingly talking about a barbqing tomorrow.

    Just got our first rain gust. No biggie, but it hit our back French doors, so I decided to put the boards up over them. I was hoping to leave them open, but oh well.

    Nothing so far. It's slowed down before coming into land, but it is a cat 3. Not many gusts or much rain so far.
