You have my prayers, Kirby. We were lucky and just missed it.
However, even though it was several hundred miles away, we still had
wind warnings. Man, you could just tell...
Take care and your cousin, too.

It looks as if we are going to catch it this time. There may be
some of you who are thinking that it's about time. But that's
another story.
Anyway, Austin is about 200 - 250 miles inland from where this
storm is supposed to make landfall. The problem is that is bigger
than a lot of states - about 300 miles across and has two more days to
churn itself into fury over the Gulf of Mexico.
My cousin (who actually collects film posters, by the way) works
for Kirby Corporation in Houston (no connection to yours truly) in
the inland
marine business, and I can tell you that the people who are very
familiar with hurricanes are worried as hell.
Here in Austin we expect this to be downgraded to perhaps a
tropical storm by the time it gets here. Still it could spin
off some tornados and we could lose power. If I get a tornado
there could be movie posters all over East Austin.
If I see Elmira Gulch riding by on her bike (or Lance Armstrong)
I'll let you know.
Ya'll pray now!
