How's everyone doing out there?

So far I've heard about Thurman and Creston getting hit hard.

Not too bad here. Just wind and rain thankfully. We're still cleaning up tree damage from last years wind/hail storm.

HANG IN THERE!

Montgomery County has a large part of itself headed for the Gulf of Mexico. 4-7 inches of rain too quick overwhelmed no-till and terraces. Flash flood over gravel road in both directions from my house for about an hour.

I have some sort of distant relations in Red Oak. Or at least I did once. Anyway, glad you are safe and sound out that way. Hope you remain that way.
