Texans! - Are Ya'll OK?

How are you Texas NSA's doing? Hoping someone will chime in and let us know how you are faring. You have been on my mind all day. Hope everyone is safe.

I imagine many are evacuating and not on line tonight. I have been thru a cat 5 in Florida "Andrew" in 92 and I am sure I would be out of there.....My prayers are with everyone in TX

Re: Texans! - Are Ya'll OK? - Yes, this one is!

I live three-four hours inland. My town is one of the destinations for coastal folk. My mother and her Mr. Friendly Man are with me. My dad, his wife and two sisters are with my son at his place.

If the hurricane goes in 75 miles or less south of Galveston, my family as mentioned above will be affected. We are all Brazoria County natives. I was born in Freeport...deep harbor port south of Houston and Galveston.

This kind of a hurricane is going to pose a major problem to the petrochemical complex in Freeport. My son's dad is on the hurricane crew for Dow Chemical-Freeport. His wife is planning on riding it out about 15 miles inland. I am very worried about her staying. Gonna try to get her to reconsider.

Otherwise...all is fine and where I live is going to be receiving some "weather" but not like the coastal areas. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for your concerns.

My hubby had to go back to TX for another business trip. The company decided to cut the trip short and rescedule in a couple of weeks. He's getting on a plane to come home as we speak. On a good note last time he went he brought me back some Texas Bar-B-Que... yummmmmmmmm
