Uh-oh!!

The 5 p.m. report made it look like it is tracking a little farther south than earlier. We may be lucky to get some rain out of this one. Never know what the next 24 hours holds. Corpus Christi may get some wind. We just have to wait and see for now.

I'm hoping that everyone gets some (much needed) rain, with very little wind and no damage. We are so dry in Austin - we really could use some rain. Yesterday we went to our deer lease south of San Antonio and everything was so pretty and green. They had 3 inches of rain down there a couple of weeks ago - but in Austin, we've only had a half an inch in the last couple of months. Man it is dry!!!

The 7 p.m. update has it going even farther south now. Will probably go in at Brownsville or even northern Mexico. Doubt if we will get more than a shower or two. Your deer lease may get a bit more!!

Some friends were in Monclova, Mexico over the weekend. They will probably get the storm, and they are so poor there they are ill prepared to deal with it. Seems like someone told me that mudslides are a problem for them.

the further south it goes, the less chance we have at rain. Oh well, I just hope it goes into an unpopulated area and does not cause any problems!

Checking things out this morning, this may not be a powerful storm, but it's kinda strung out. Looks to me like we may be in for some rain after all. We're located near the coast in almost the very center of the Texas gulf coast. If you ever hear that a storm is going in at Port O'Connor, and I drop off the radar for a few days, you will know why. The rain may extend to San Antonio/Austin area. I know y'all could use it. We have daughters in each city and know what it's like up there. Here's the latest on the storm:

Don't know if anyone is really interested, but I find weather fascinating. Here's a link to another cool map.

Keep us posted on what's going on! How bad does it have to be for you to evacuate? I know that you're not directly on the coast, Marilyn so I don't know how big of a threat you have to have. Do you just wait for the announcement to evacuate?
