Hope storm does not bring problems to you.

We live right on the verge of The Woodlands of Texas. Pretty far from
the Gulf, and a higher elevation (barely) than Houston area. I've been
watching hurricanes come ashore since I could read and write and that
was age four. Wife and I just had a conversation about this storm, she's
from Maryland and we've been through a few hurricanes and tornadoes
together over our long married life. She gets nervous and wants to run
and lock everything down, I'm not to concerned about this storm. Mostly
because of where we live now, how high the area is above sea level, and,
I guess, just because I've lived through a great many hurricanes. That
doesn't mean we won't stock the SUV with clothing, food, etc. just in
case but I don't have that weird feeling I get when hurricanes are
coming ashore.

Over the next 48 hours we shall see what happens.
