I just spoke to my friend in Houston.  As of now, there are no mandatory evacuations in her area.  She’s got a full tank of gas, a fresh supply of batteries, an ice chest all ready for her fridge stuff, and was on her way to pick up a couple of bags of ice. In her words, “As long as I’ve got enough smokes, and at least some iced type coffee, I’ll be fine!”  sigh….

I haven’t spoken to my sister or brother in law, who live outside of Huntsville, which is farther north.  However, he is a tug boat captain out of Galveston, so I’m thinking he’s probably been…what would you call it….docked?  Battened down?
