UPDATE AT 10 AM Monday:
We are in Hurricane Hell. The wind gusts are crazy (85mph clocked once). Part of our back fence blew down and now the entire side fence slat by slat, heavy deck cabinets moved 15 feet away from the wall outside with pottery inside crashing and breaking, trees down, power out in neighborhood and 1.2 million in Houston area without power (generator is ON for us and working like a charm, which is why I can update).
It began gusting hard and raining hard at 4 am, got really bad at 6 am and still going strong even though the winds changed direction a few minutes ago...no lulls at all. With every gust, I think this is the big one. I did get 8 hours of sleep or else I'd go back to bed. Knock wood, our little house is solid and taking it like a champ. Probably another 2-3 hours of this, they say.
Dear Lord, give me strength, the rain has lessened but the wind gusts just won't quit!
