Yep, I'm  here.....everything we can do has been done, so now we are playing  
 
the waiting game.  Still not sure about the final path of the storm,  but  
they 
say either way as large as the storm is we would get the  hurricane force  
winds here 75-100 mph.  Only difference is that  they would be coming from  
the NE 
instead of the S, with the  rotation.  If by chance the storm does  head into 
LA. instead of  Tx. we would still get Tropical storm winds 50-75  mph.  Also 
 
they are saying there is a strong possibility of it stalling out   over us 
due 
to a high north of Tx. which means flooding rains.   Experienced  that here 
in 
Houston with trop. storm Allison that  dumped 45 inches of rain in a  couple 
days.....no fun.  So we  shall see.  

Oddly people are pretty much calm, playing the  waiting game.  Nothing  is 
open, nobody is moving around, it's a  Shelter in place set up for the  next 
few 
days, which means nothing  is open, everyone is to stay in place,  curfews 
set 
up, etc.   Nobody is allowed to evacuate anymore, if they  haven't gotten 
out,  
it's too late now.  Funny, it's eerily quiet.....no  birds in  site, nothing. 
Only differnce is my "zoo" is very uneasy, very   nervous.  Obviously they 
feel 
it.  My cat, Ms. Kitty that never  goes  outside, has been trying all day to 
go 
out.  Puppy is so  high strung, I  keep thinking she's going to have a 
nervous  
breakdown.   Power  keeps going in and out, cell phone  networks are clogged 
most of the time, so  very difficult to get a  call through.  So.....we just 
sit 
and wait.   Very windy,  but no rain yet. They say power once it goes, might 
be 
out for  a  week minimum. I'm enjoying catching up on the Chat list.  Thanks 
for  all  the laughs ya'll, appreciate it...great to have something funny to  
think  about.  Ya'll are a great bunch.  Thanks for the  thoughts and prayers 
 
too.  Appreciate it.
