Prediction that I heard was ~8 feet of storm surge in Galveston, from the direct hit and the influence of the other.  Last thing Galveston needs is another Ike.

Galveston just got rebuilt too as well as Bolivar. Hell last month I was looking at a couple of houses that were flooded from Ike. I just bid the lot price and they refused.

I need to pay better attention.  I'm in the FL Keys and have not been watching the news.   In FL we call a category 1 hurricane a large thunderstorm.

Don't you EVER work anymore, lol?  Took the boat out today in FLL, had fun.  Was thinking about finding a not-too-pricey place to stay down your way where we could trailer the boat and spend 2-3 days just relaxing around the first of the month.  Are all the Keys open to strangers like us, without residences?

I have spent more on dental in the last 4 years than I have on Mortgage payments. Or a lot anyway.

There is the answer lol

Ouch.  You should come down here and stay with us for a bit.  We can drive over to Neonred's place, only about 90 minutes away.  I'll give you free lodging, and he will give you free dental work!!  :rofl:

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

Dogs can't take MRI's but Cat scan.

Nice thing about working here in south FL is that all the patients are very old.  Even crappy dental work is likely to last as long as they do.

As of 6 p.m., cone had moved toward Floridiana.  Amazing.  If this holds, Laura could be more of a problem for Texas than Marco, especially if former's path goes over or south of Cuba.  Will report again after 10 p.m. update.

This is why we never worry about major storms until they get into the Gulf. Just the double whammy of these got us spooked as we have never had it happen. They both look like baby hurricanes though so flooding comes into play. Lucky none of my properties are flood prone.
