it is definitely getting windy, but not too bad at all yet. we have the windows taped, we are not sure how or if that works, but we have seen other people doing it :) anyway, jeremy is home from work now, both of our cars are in our respective work garages and we have the suburban to tool around town in now. we are thinking about dinner now, not sure what we will have... anyway, things are still dry, it is getting windy. they are concerned that the eye is starting to develop a little more and gain strength. we will see, still projecting landfall in galveston around 1am, and into town around 3am. we were told to get off the roads starting at 6pm as they are expecting tropical storm strength winds. we have moved everything in from outside both front and back, thus the outdoor bench in our living room, but gervin and chica seem to like it. they are so cute, and notice that they are wearing their collars at all times now, which is not normal for them, they like to go "naked".
heavy rains are just now moving into galveston, so we can expect them in a couple of hours. tiki island is mostly flooded now from what i hear on the news, bolivar peninsula as well as galveston is mostly flooded due to storm surge, NO RAIN!!!!!!
just reported that it is close to a cat 3 in regards to the wind, in regards to the storm surge, it is a 4 or a 5 because of how big the storm is.
anyway, lots of fluff so far on the blog, just not much to report. temp has dropped a little bit. it is about 84 degrees according to weather.com, my zip is 77018 if anyone in interested. although the news seems to have plenty to talk about as they have been on non stop since thursday at noon ugh... bad for tv watching! we have the wii, so if we get bored, we can play that, as long as the power is on. so i will be able to keep blogging even after we lose power, until my laptop charge dies...wow, i am dedicated.
everyone take care and i will chat when we start having activity. i might shoot a video soon so you can see wind!~
