[leprechaun_40]

It's only Texas and Louisiana, no loss ;)

Twill be up "Your Way" in a few days tho'......... Then it'll prolly come here too :eek:

Ask Jonesy for tips on Boarding up ;)

[leprechaun_40]

By the time it gets here it'll just be a rain storm. No worries.

[herosrest]

It's anti clockwise.

Ouch....A BBC weather progg is showing potential for this thing to surge 25 ft of water hundreds of miles inland. Good luck guys........... it's a real mother.

There's something terribly wrong with getting email alerts from the local weather guys that start off with: Hurricane Bulletin for Dallas County

And then there's the part where EVERY news person uses this phrase:
Hunker Down
verb
1. sit on one's heels; "In some cultures, the women give birth while squatting"; "The children hunkered down to protect themselves from the sandstorm" [syn: squat]
2. take shelter; "During the sandstorm, they hunkered down in a small hut"
3. hold stubbornly to a position; "The wife hunkered down and the husband's resistance began to break down"

I've got their HUNKER right here;)

Steve. You did leave.........................right??

[Steve R Jones]

Leave and go where - leprechaun_40's house :p

I'm 300 miles from the coast...Even the people in Houston (40 miles from the coast) were told to stay put.

Dallas is only expected to get 1 to 3 inches of ran and maybe 35mph gusts of wind...No big deal....I just got done doing a little yard work with the ELECTRIC weedeater....It started to rain and instead of staying out there and dieing like JM or Lando would do, I came back inside :t

you live in Dallas? then you should be grateful you don't live in Galvaston... :t

[leprechaun_40]

Well, some of our Texas contingent are with us. Not too sure about the coastal ones though, kinda breezy and damp there from what I see on The Weather Channel. Hope you got the yardwork done Steve
