Hey fhlh, I'm riding it out. I live over on Memorial/Gessner. If gets to cat 5 are you staying?

Cat5? I'll prolly hit 290 to Austin EARLY Friday AM.
by the time it hits downtown houston... it should only be a cat 4, only :( Don't know if I want to be around for that.

I stayed during Alica in 83, but this might be much bigger.

If gets to cat 5 are you staying? What do you mean "if", it hit cat five around 3 this afternoon. Still two plus days out.

That Rita is real blowhard, she is. Latest forecast her to still be a hurricane when she passes Austin. I'm about 50 miles north of there, so I'll bring in the loose stuff off the back porch, and hope my neighbors' fences don't end up flying through my back windows.

Good luck. We're down Gessner almost to Hammerly. I've been a lurker for years. Just don't have much to say. We'll be here for the duration.
