Make a big pot of those beans, make sure you have plenty of beer, and y'all stay safe.
Gas stations out of gas by us
It appears the Weather Channel has gone with thicker weather babes than I remember. Today's Hurricane Babes.

For those bugging out.
If you are heading to BCS and need to drop a boat, RV, or horse(s) for a few days PM me. I'll pen mine up for the storm anyway.
EDIT: My idiot will insist on being outside in the storm, so if you have a stall trained horse I have three stalls that will go unused.

Just a reminder, bottled water can be bought from big box office supply stores, as well as lowes, Home Depot, tractor supply, ace hardware, etc...
I bought gumbo fixins and lots of wine. I'm wit you in spirit, been there before.B-1 83 said:

Poor mans way is just a large Brita filter and filling up all your Tupperware and other containers full of water now. I think I have at least 4-5 gallons worth of space in Tupperware alone. Bachelors life FTW!
For anyone evacuating to the Austin area with dogs or cats, Westlake Animal Hospital is offering 50% off boarding if they are looking for space. Vaccine records are needed.
Also tank water heater, if you still have one of those!
If anyone needs to park a car or boat. I am in Hoecheim and live on a hill. It might be windy, but it will not flood. If it does, I'm going to church.
Still close to the coast, but just offering if you need to make multiple trips back and forth. You can leave things here if need be.

Question? I'm about 40 miles northwest of BCS. Not worried about the ranch but have a house on a lake that floods. House will be fine, but concerned about our new pontoon boat. How many inches are realistic in Robertson County?

Mandatory evacuation for Victoria, Jackson, Calhoun, Refugio, and Aransas. Guess I'm headed north

This. Nothing special about bottled water people!
Do like I did when stranded in Louisiana last year, fill the bath tub in case power goes out.
Just an FYI. My wife works at the Sam Houston Race park and just told me they leave stalls open for folks to bring their horses for storms like this. Call 281-807-8790, they will guide you through it. FREE OF CHARGE, ALL WELCOME
You have to provide everything but water.

6 North was as busy as I've seen it since Rita.

I think it is at 1900cst with a larger update at 2200cst.
This was sent to me by someone on the Wharton County emergency task force.

Lifestraw and rain water
Screw that, I have a month supply of wine. If I need to wash something, carpe milkum's pool is cleaner than the water supply.

You'll get rain, but it will likely be in the 3"-4" range. Remember that these numbers are also over a 3 day period, not in a normal 24 hour period.aggiehawg said:

Thanks. The way the creeks drain into the lake, it usually takes 24 hours after a major rain before the lake floods anyway.
Guess I'm heading to the lake to take of the boat tomorrow.
Thanks again.

7pm update?
Question for you amateur meteorologists. From what I have heard, forward motion is supposed to decrease which means that the storm churns up a lot of water in the Gulf. Any chance this churning lowers surface water temperatures so that the storm's intensity doesn't increase as much as predicted?
Got a brother in Rockport and I am grasping at any hope I can think of to believe that they don't suffer severe damage.

If it slows, it will grow stronger. The water in the Gulf is very warm. Additionally, they are predicting it will stall on or near the coast and sit for a few days.
