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.

well, finally I have power and internet again so I can post an update. During the storm the surge came up pretty high in Corpus, flooded some of North Padre Island and North Beach. I drove back to Houston right after the storm and found my house with no fence, missing shingles, and no power or water. When I came inside, I found my dinning room roof on the floor with insulation and sheetrock covering everything. It sucks but at least I still have a house. I know that many in Galveston and Crystal Beach are in worst shape.
