Hurricane Edouard

Sounds like someone got sick in the middle of Edward…  Where do they come up with these names anywho???

So, there’s a hurricane heading our direction tomorrow morning, but it’ll probably make landfall east of us and not affect us too much.  Maybe that’s why I got the stocking up bug…  I do need to work on water though.

ETA, Here’s the projected path, so it looks like it’s headed straight at us (the first inlet in Texas is pretty close to Houston), but it should be pretty weak by the time it gets here, hopefully…

Edited again at 8:30 PM, we’re ready, it looks like it’s going to hit us more directly tomorrow night. We’ve got food, water, lights (batteries for flashlights and candles), a grill, frozen ice packs, charged cells and cameras, and will fill our tubs tomorrow just before it hits so we can wash up and continue to flush our toilets, and plenty of entertainment, so on the off chance that we don’t have power and you don’t get an update for a few days know that we’re well prepared and probably fine, and would come back with a LOT of new pictures.  😉  I seriously doubt it will get that crazy, but if it does, I’m just letting you all know we’ll be hot and having fun.

Galveston’s mayor has urged the west end (a less protected area) to seek higher ground, but not called for evacuation.

Houston prepares to take a direct hit.

Edited 10:45 PM, Edouard has been downgraded to a tropical storm but may regain straingth before landfall.
