Well, I'm way north of Houston. The center of the storm is going to go right over us tonight and we're supposed to get 7 inches of rain. The wind is only going to be 10mph by the time it gets here. Thanks for your concern. Short of a tornado we shouldn't have any issues. We have a couple of members in Houston that I'm concerned about.

Oldblusmoke seems to be missing. Doesn't he live in Houston?

Tornado warnings all over the area, including us. Telling people to get in their shelters.

Had a little bit of a break. I believe the remainder of the eye just went over us. Rain continues.

Probably a good thing you got that tree taken care of, as soft as the ground's going to be.

That tree was the 5th largest on the property and the furthest from the house. 😁 Power just went out. 😕

We're getting some rumbles and rain from it, now.

It is officially pouring right down, here, now. Nothing like what Ron's getting in TX, I'm sure, but it's a sure enough rainstorm.

Power was off 12 hours. I didn't get to sleep until 8:30 this morning because I wear a CPAP. No damage, 4" of rain total. Feeling blessed again today. Thanks for all the well wishes.

Glad that you're okay, Ron. I was watching the news and the power might be out down your way for a few days. When I lived in NOLA, I went through a couple of hurricanes that came near the city and the torrential rain just came in waves as the bands moved through. And I've seen the damage done out in Alabama from the tornadoes that came afterwards. The trees along one of the highways looked as if they had all been cut down. I use a CPAP, too, and my wife uses an oxygen generator 24/7 . If we ever loose power, she could hook up to the oxygen bottles that we have when we're away from the house, but I'm out of luck without a backup power supply for the CPAP. Again, I'm glad that you're okay.

I thought you had a battery back up for the CPAP. It ran out before we ever went to bed. Investigation to follow. Still, it only lasts for a couple of hours. No idea why it died with no load.
