Well latest update. My job shut down for the weekend so I ended up coming down to Corpus Christi late last night. Everyone else was heading north so there wasn't much traffic going south. Over hear in Corpus there's a 3' storm surge or so but the city is high enough from see level its not a problem. It even looks like we might not get much rain or wind here either. Anyways, looking at the major surge in Galveston that going on right now there's going to be lots of deaths.

TAQ,

Watching the Weather Channel this morning, looks like you made a wise choice heading to CC!

Local Houston TV channel being broadcast on Direct TV just reported teenager washed off of end of jetty at Corpus Christi and drowned...over course of day, I think several more will occur...

I had a couple big branches down at my house and the fences blown down but no real damage. Still no electricity and probably not for a while. Going back to work tomorrow at one of our locations that does have electricity. Fortunately we had a cold front blow in and cool things down a bit. It feels nice here at my parents house in south texas but I'm sure houston is more humid.
