it is 11:30, still no rain. no rain anywhere as a matter of fact. most of the streets of galveston are under water, but still no rain, just the increase of volume in the gulf causing it to come over the 15 foot seawall that protects galveston and flood the streets. the boliver peninsula is completely covered and the coast guard is already evacuating the idiots from the rooftops. seriously, what was keeping them from leaving wednesday during evacuation of that area, or even yesterday... i am attaching pictures of my little house. the front and back so you can see the trees etc. i am also showing the street up and down from our house as it is a really pretty street with lots of trees. gervin and chica are doing fine. no rain so they just keep running around. i am going to watch the news for a little while and get better updates, but we are expecting tropical storm strength winds, 25-40 mph starting at around 6pm and hurricane winds around 2am. please notice that my neighbors boarded up their windows. when jeremy gets home from work, i think we are going to put tape on ours...maybe :)
