Yeah - Good Luck Toby

Well, everything outside that wasn't nailed down has been removed from the yard. We have gas for the generator and propane for the gas grill. Bring it on!

Oh, and Greenie. The Texans game has been moved to Monday evening.

Toby (and anyone else coastal), it looks like we are going to be in the clear out here. The traffic along 71 has been killer all evening, but we have room for y'all out here in the Hill Country. If you stay put, I am pulling for you, and hope you have a smooth, safe ride.

We're getting ready to hunker down here at the house. I've got poptarts and water!|thumb

Hope you are not in a low area. Stay safe. |waves|

Toby? Dead yet?

(pokes with stick)

Toby I know that you have plenty of high heeled thigh high boots and you've been looking for the right occasion to wear them but I don't think this is it.

Get out!

Wow, one helluva headline on CNN... |shocking|

Warning: Texans face 'certain death' with Ike

Oh, that's just wonderful! |cry|

Toby you okay? Please respond...

If he hasn't replied yet, Toby should be okay unless he tried SirMoby's suggestion and fell off some of that extreme footwear. :D

Ike's projected to impact Texas' coast sometime Saturday morning so inland where Toby (and ladydesigner?) is/are located probably isn't feeling that much yet, though it is a big (wide) storm. But I hope anyone closer to the coast is on the way somewhere else already.

Projected water-level rise from storm surge through Saturday in attached pic. Those "innundation/destruction" terms are pretty strong.

Anyone else down in that area?

You could have just waited for tonight & let nature take care of it for you. I do that with leafs every fall.

|nahnah|

I really hope all those that have mandatory evac are doing it thats one big MOFO of a huricane and would hate to see any thing bad happen to those that think they can ride it out all i can say to those on the coastal area's RUN . Be safe Toby i know yer more inland but sheeeeeesh i looked at the monster and its Big .

Be Safe rather than Sorry

Be safe, a great site for hurricance tracking is http://www.stormpulse.com/

Thanks y'all for the concern. We're just getting a light breeze at this point, won't see the brunt of the storm until later this evening.

Are you wearing your high heeled hurricane boots?

No. They were out of stock in my size. |catfight|

Sending all my positive Karma your way Toby!

My thoughts are with you guys...here in AL gas has gone from $3.59 ro over $4.00 in one day...something about a pipeline being shut down,

Ike is just gods way of thanking Texas for W...

|buddy||hurricane

Toby, my thoughts are heading your way. Hoping for the best. Be Safe.

yesterday IKE gave some tough time to the population living near texas coast. i hope everybody is fine and healthy

I heard that there is an umbrella and galoshes advisory for coastal Texas.

If I'm reading this correctly, Toby is SW of Houston & it looks like the eye went just NE of the city. Not that 20 mph less wind speed is anything to cheer about when you're talking hurricanes.

I'm sending Toby that text message right now :D

YESTERDAY!?!?!?! It made landfall about an hour before you fucking posted!

Good luck Toby - it sounds really bad down there. |shocking|

Here in Austin, 180 miles inland, we have some wind, but it looks like the whole thing took a NE turn and is gonna pass us up completely - not even any rain at this point, which is kinda bad for us 'cause we could use a few inches of precipitation.
