Edouard possibly Headed for Houston :(

[Cindy]

I just talked to my son this morning and he is heading into work to batten down the hatches and then getting the hell outta Dodge. I am keeping all of our Houston friends in my thoughts and prayers that Eduardo goes right on by and does no damage.

Eduardo hasn't been declared a categorie one hurricane yet, still a tropical storm. I can't remember how much rain ,if any , Houston got out of Dolly. I heard this morning that the storm will pass north of SA and we will be on the dry side, not to expect any rain, or very little.

Re: Edouard possibly Headed for Houston

We got a sprinkle from Dolly all the way up here in NE Okla!!!! We didn't see any, but just north and east of us did!

I don't think they go anything from Dolly did they? If they did DS didn't tell me about it.


I hope it stays a TS, but we all know from past experiences these suckers like build up right before landfall and surprise everyone

Re: Edouard possibly Headed for Houston

We didn't get very much from Dolly. I am hoping that it won't turn into a hurricane as I live in a double-wide. I will go to our church for shelter if I need to. It isn't even raining right now. We had some rain yesterday. A friend of mine lost all 3 tv's yesterday evening when lightning struck a big tree in their backyard. Thank Heavens everything else was alright! It could have been a lot worse. They say Edouardo is supposed to make landfall around 7 am tomorrow morning...we should start experiencing stronger winds throughout the day.

My DS great grandmother lost her electricity and phone from that storm yesterday so he went and picked her up and took her to his house. They both live north of Houston.

I sure hope he is gentle if he does come to visit. We just spent $60,000.00 remodleing our house. It is very sunny and very hot outside this morning. Stay safe TexAnn, I am just south of you in Mont Belvieu.

I'M GLAD HE TOOK THE RESPONSIBILITY OF GOING TO GET HER, I HEAR TOO OFTEN OF THE ELDERLY LEFT AT HOME, FORGOTTEN BY THEIR FAMILIES!!!

HOPE EVERYTHING TURNS OUT OK.

Re: Edouard possibly Headed for Houston

Nu, I sometimes think he loves her more than me j/k!!! She is very special to him and he would go to the ends of the earth for her as he should. She wanted to go back home this morning and she did have electricity back. They live in Conroe and Willis, so hopefully they will just get some good rain from it, but if it looks like it is going to get bad he will go pick her up again. She is very independent even at 84!

Re: Edouard possibly Headed for Houston

It's Good She Still Can Be Independent, But She Still Needs The Help, Glad He's There For Her!!

Re: Edouard possibly Headed for Houston

I don't want to see any damage from it but sure am lookin forward to some rain outta this system. They are saying we should get 3-6 inches.

Re: Edouard possibly Headed for Houston

Yes, Traumanurse...I do most of my shopping in Baytown. I am closer to Mont Belvieu than I am to Dayton, but have Dayton as address...go figure...lol. We are very close.Do you work at San Jac or one of the hospitals in Houston. My hats off to you!

Re: Edouard possibly Headed for Houston

Earlier they said it would hit in the morning, now they have decided that it will be noonish or so..I dread this..went through Rita 3 years ago right after Katrina. We aren't planning to leave just yet. Will go to the Church tomorrow if necessary. Anything is likely to happen at this point. I hope it's not sitting out there gaining speed. No evacuations yet, that's good.
