    I will be here in Corpus through it all. My kids (8,4,2) will be up in Leakey.
    I have 3 tanks to keep going. Will have 50 gal of RO/DI water and salt avail.
    Hope the generator takes care of me. Have a 6500watt portable and 40 gals of gas plus another 35 gals of gas in a couple of the cars I could siphon. All surgeries cancelled for next few days at hospitals so I have time. I have hurricane windows upstairs, but need to board up downstairs tomm.
    Just got back from home depot and it was absolute choas.....
    Pray I am overprepared.

    I just rented a Generator from Lowes. The weekly rental was $115. All the stores are sold out of them around here but there appear to be a decent amount for rental.

    It would be nice for it to miss Corpus, though I feel bad for anyone who will be affected. I mean, c'mon, I've been here for two weeks and a hurricane already?! I will be evacuating inland to Three Rivers to my Great Aunt's; the family would probably kill me if I didn't. Good thing the vast majority of my livestock hasn't been shipped down from Michigan yet!

    Looks like it is heading towards Galveston / Houston. Best of luck for those in it's path.

    I'd stay put if I were you because Houston has a Flood Problem. It was always a problem when lived there and it will never go away with such a high water table in that area.

    Got back at 1:30 am from doing boat preperations in Corpus Christi Marina. What a zoo! Marina folks were doing a great job, though.
