We tucked our tails and left this morning. When this thing misses the Tine you can all thank me.

---

We are the only ones our street who seem to be doing any sort of prep.

We are doing our part to make sure it completely misses us.

---

same here, no one else seems to be doing anything on our street. I asked my neighbor if he was going to board up and he said he was going to watch it for a day or two.

If this thing does in fact hit and causes some damage in Harris County will be interesting to see how Dora handles any type of a recovery effort

Did yall watch her and Sylvester at the lunchtime presser? She already sounded like she was in full meltdown mode, babbling through some buzzword salad about how we will survive this because "we are reee-zilll-eee-yent. We arrree a community...that is strongeerrr....tooo-geth-therrrrrr...." Maybe just chill out and let the grown ups talk.

Then Sylvester took the podium back to explain that we're better prepared for this one because of Covid, and so many people have lost their jobs and been furloughed that the traffic shouldn't be as bad.



I wish they'd go back to letting the OEM people and meteorologists do the talking instead of giving stupid campaign speeches.

Have a FL vacation planned for next week. Supposed to leave this Saturday. We were thinking about heading out tonight and making the drive before the storm gets in to town and just extending a few days. Is that a crazy idea? Assume traffic shouldn't be heavy on i10 east and if we leave tonight will pass through well in advance of the storm..

I live close to you, I filled up my nearly empty tank at the one that still had gas available.

However, and this is very important, this track is far from dialed in. There are still some models that dissent from this scenario, and there remains the potential for Laura to wobble as it moves across the Gulf of Mexico. I think we can safely rule out a landfall near Freeport or the San Luis Pass, which would be the absolute worst case scenario for Houston and Galveston. However, a landfall anywhere from the East End of Galveston Island to the Texas-Louisiana border remains in play. Believe me, I would love nothing more than to close the book on Laura, but we are just not there yet. Maybe by tomorrow morning, maybe not. This is a nail-biter for the Houston and Galveston areas. Please heed mandatory evacuation orders and continue preparations.

Once you get past Sulphur, LA you're probably going to be sitting in traffic...
