Well, looks like this hurricane is moving more east of us and might not be as bad as previously believed. That's the good news for us. Bad for Louisiana.
Also, there's hundreds of people stuck in Corrigan for hours (14+). The friend I was referring to in my previous post who's waiting on his family is still waiting. They left Port Arthur early yesterday and they've been stuck in the Corrigan area all day, all night, and now all of today. Nobody has any gas and they're really going through the ringer.
Another update. Apparently there are 20 to 25 tankers of gas heading from Fort Hood to the Huntsville/Riverside/Trinity area to deliver gas. That's the good news for all of us. But, that doesn't help those Corrigan people. Someone needs to get them gas and fast.
Well, I promised some pics and here are a couple of the lake taken approximately 1:00pm central standard time.
Calm waters
Another pic where you can view the water level in relation to the pier.
I'll post a follow-up to these pictures post Rita.
Wind right now just picked up pretty good. This could get interesting. I'll be disconnecting shortly after the market closes (3:00pm central standard time) and moving my PC to a safer location. Here's a view outside my home office.
As you can see...plenty of trees which should act as a buffer from the wind. Let's hope they can stand up to this wind.
Might be my last post for the day. I've got some more rat-killing to do in order to be ready for this hurricane. And family to take care of.
Take care,
MT
