Yep, that's where we are. If you hear it is going into Matogorda Bay or Port O'Conner, that's basically a direct hit for us. We are inland about 20 miles as the crow flies which causes us to be well above the storm surge (we are approx. 95 feet above sea level), but not out of the wind and rain. Windows, roofs, power lines, trees are at risk with a Cat 3 or 4. Much of the damage results from blown in rain, through a compromised roof or window.

My office, by contrast is in Port Lavaca, on Matagorda Bay. We are about 200 yards (if that far) from the water and approx. 16 feet above sea level. My office may be in danger of flooding, and is a standard metal building, warehouse type construction. We're a little concerned about the office. Hubby's office is in Victoria, in a pretty well protected location and is also boarded up.
