We live a little over an hour north of Houston....on a hill. We still have power and AC and hot water and just finished having BBQ ribs and Parmesan potatoes. We're better off than most. My family in H-town is all accounted for and with the exception of one who got water in the house, they've all been unscathed so far. (Praise the gods) I've been glued to the live streams watching the water come up and having flashbacks to Allison. We're very very lucky. But we still have at least two more days of this monster they named Harvey, and the second landfall is predicted to blow right past our yard. Crossing fingers that it stays like it has so far.
My biggest amusement so far has been when I accidently ended up on CBS New York's livefeed instead of my local one. Listening to them try to make sense of us southern folk amused me greatly.
