1. Erin? has arrived in Houston, about 10 minutes ago. Sigh. nt

[merh]

2. gotcha all in my prayers.

:hug:

Stay safe and dry. :loveya:

[babylonsister]

3. Thanks, my friend, though I think the media is making more out of

this than it warrants. They're ITCHING to talk about hurricanes. :pals:

[NeedleCast]

4. Yup.

[merh]

18. Well, just stay safe and dry

The hell to the press.

:hug:

7. If Erin is here in Houston, than she's not much.

We don't even have any rain. We need some rain.

[babylonsister]

12. I think you're going to get your wish.

Black clouds/thunder/lightening/rain just cruised by here, but now it's clearing a bit. I live on the southside, so I guess we'll get it before you do.

[merh]

19. My mother was from Houston

I still have uncles and aunts and cousins there (or the surrounding cities). You guys just sit tight and let Erin blow throw.

:hi:

10. The rain is just now starting for us too --

I'm in the Port Arthur area. I'll take this over being in the direct line of a hurricane anyday... knock on wood.

11. That's odd, the weather channel shows it 100 miles away.

:wtf:

[babylonsister]

13. Don't ask me; see post #12. nt

[karlrschneider]

15. Er, post 12 is yours....you do know that wind and rain extend out hundreds of miles

from the eyes of hurricanes...?

[babylonsister]

16. I know it's mine. A raging wind, rain, etc., came through when I wrote

that but now it's cleared out.

[karlrschneider]

17. Okay, no offense, I was just pointing out the main part of the TS is still a long way away.

:D

(I'd give a hundred bucks to have it head right smack here...it's 104, no breeze, no cloud for shade.)

6. We're watching Dean with

much interest.

[pitohui]

8. i think i'm going to cry

we should have been funding fewer wars in the last 40 years and spent more time funding weather control and change

:cry:

9. Heard on the WX Channel the Texas governor has alerted the TX Nat'l Guard

60 of them to be exact.
:eyes:

14. That's all he has left probably. I heard that too this am on MSNBC. nt
