I'm cool. :-) Austin did not get it like we thought it would. We did not even get any rain! Here is hoping the others are ok..... For the record, Katra (me) has changed her screen name.

Yeah, not even a drop of rain... my friend in Houston made it without even losing power. Thanks for asking! With hope and heart, Kathleen I'm in north Spring, just north of Houston. We lost power for only a few hours. Only got an inch of rain and I doubt the wind blew harder than 50--I never managed to see a news report on how hard the wind DID blow--just how hard it MIGHT blow, which scared the hell out of me. I managed to sleep through most of it, and my garden didn't even get trashed. I had cut all my Mexican sage off and given bouquets to neighbors, now I wish I'd left some! ;) It sure was misery on all the poor folks who evacuated. I hope to hell the state has the foresight to plan opening both sides of the freeway for the next evacuation--and what about TRAINS? They could have shipped a lot of people north on the trains! We REALLLLY lucked out on this one--I hope the next one we get isn't the mother of all mothers! (knock, knock) I know I will NEVER live nearer than 100 miles of the coast. We're about 80 miles from it, and that was too close. Cindy |

Thank you, it's very kind of you to care. :) As others said, Austin didn't even get rain. I'm glad we didn't buy the electric generator after all... Anyway, I was in Denver at the time and now I'm in Palm Springs, can't wait to get back home to my own bed! Even though they've been having record-breaking heat I hear. :( Victor, homesick. |

Hot for late september! It's been in the triple digits... However, there is supposed to be a cold front moving in tonight with highs in the 80's tomorrow. :-) I can hardly wait........ Cheers!

Day before yesterday, Austin was 108 degrees, hotter than Death Valley, hotter than Riyadh, hotter than Baghdad, hotter than Delhi, hotter than any place I could think of to look up except other places right around here.
