Yup hang in there.  My NASA-engineer buddy who lives right next to Johnson Space Center lost power many hours ago and it's still not restored, and lost half his fence, but is otherwise okay.

Ok, able to post now. I admit I did not take this storm that seriously. Cat 1 storm, no biggie right?  Wrong. Massive amounts of trees, mostly mature pecans, are down all over. Power lines are laying on the ground everywhere. I am not even exaggerating when I say we may not have power for weeks. There will surely be places that won’t have power for maybe a month. 

About 25% of the roof of my tractor barn is blown off ( the tin is ripped off). Two of my rent houses sustained significant damage, one of which the meter loop was ripped out of the wall. Another rent house a massive 100 year old pecan fell and crushed the shed of the home next door. 

I’ll post some pics when I get a chance. We’re about to go chain sawing.

That sounds much worse than I expected, and hoped, it would be.

I’m running my home on my 5kw generator. I have it plugged into a box back feeding the house ( main breaker is off of course). I’m able to run my smaller AC, which is 2 ton. It’s upstairs. Currently 79 in the house, so not too bad. Supposed to be 94 tomorrow, so we’ll see.

Glad you guys are okay.  The no flooding part is huge.

Hurricanes can exceed expectations because the forecasts focus on sustained winds.  The gusts can get bananas and repeat for a long time.

I'm glad you and your family are OK.

From way over here I did not see how bad a Cat 1 could get. We had one hit and it really didn't do much of anything. I guess they are all different.

Remnants of this pushing heavy rain into Indiana tonight and Wed.   Always surreal when we get rain from these storms.  Always comes in from the south winds are not the norm.   Definitely has an odd vibe. 


Hope our Texas friends are safe and receive the support they need.

Very quiet in the tropics right now. Lots of Saharan Dust out there. It's really hazy here.
