Steve,
Thanks for the concern. If we had some other place to go we would not be able to get there. The entire metro area is in gridlock going north, east or west. No stations have any fuel. People are running out of gas in traffic. There are no hotel rooms within 600 miles.
We are well prepared. Have fuel, food, family and friends. Have generator, water, scotch, cigars, and a truck in the garage to wrench on if I need to blow off steam.
Have boarded up windows to put the wife at ease, have set up neighbors with supplies, have gassed up the chain saws for the aftermath, and have invited the insurance agent (also friend) over for dinner tonight.
We are expecting wind damage and will be pleasantly surprised if it does not occur.
We really need some rain as the lake is down about 20 inches from normal and my shrubs are getting very thirsty. We would appreciate all the prayers and kind thought you and other can send our way.
There are so many people on the road still at this time and I certainly hope they have a destination and a full tank. Keep them in your thoughts also.
If there are any Houston area Stovebolters that need a garage for the duratio, get in touch with me now. We will make room.
