Thanks for your kind thoughts, Bob. It does look bad for 
Texas. I can't seem to post to the list serve...I'm 
getting incoming mail but there's some problem outgoing to 
certain areas, so I thought I try you directly. If you 
receive this, perhaps you can post it for me?

My relatives in Houston and the swamps of Louisiana have 
evacuated. We are far enough away from the coast (5 hrs) 
that people are fleeing to us. Yesterday the local RV 
parks were already bustling with coastal evacuees. We'll 
likely see some rain, which we could use as long as it 
doesn't cause a flood. Anything over 6 inches and we can't 
get over the river crossing for a few days. Anything over 
10 inches and we are suddenly river front property. As 
good homesteaders, we are always well-stocked with food 
and other provisions. We are mainly concerned about the 
wind and may have to move our sheep because we never tied 
down their shed.
