Marcia lives in Brownsville Texas. The very southern tip of Texas near
Mexico border. There were no hurricane effects that far south or to the west
were I am in San Antonio. Barely a leaf moved. I would think David Hendley
had some pretty good rain and wind were he is in Maydelle Texas.
Hopefully when things settle down there won't be too many serious losses.
All we can do is pray and help the people who lost much during this storm. I
am sheltering for a while a good friend and his dog from down around
Galveston and it's a mess. It may take weeks to get his electricity back on.

Marcia is in Brownsville - slightly in from the Gulf.
God bless and keep everyone there.

There's a pretty big mess in Texas right
now. Hope our colleagues down there
have weathered this storm. Aside from
the winds, the water is everywhere from the
storm surge. Though Houston is not (like
New Orleans) below sea level, it is pretty
flat, and fairly low, for the most part.
Though David Hendley
is not on the coast, he's close enough to have
a lot of wind and especially a lot of rain. And
there are several list members in Houston
proper. I don't know of any in Galveston,
but there may be some.
It is hard to tell from television coverage what
is really going on, because they are only interested
in disaster, and their disappointment when the
winds aren't as fierce or the water as high as
worst-case, is palpable. So - maybe we'll hear
from folks when they can get to it.

Strange thing, storms. The east side and west side of the center had really
different experiences after the storm was inland. On the west side of
Dallas (Arnold is east) things were pretty mild. Over in east Texas, David
H. got hammered some.
Oddly, then when the storm winds decreased some, the speed of the storm
movement increase drastically. Ohio and Indiana then got treated to a
combination of the somewhat reduced storm wind speed with the increased
storm movement speed. 70 mph winds several hundred miles from the coast.
Strange thing, storms.
And if there had not been Ike, we would be thinking about the flooding in
Chicagoland.
Now the financial storms may overtake it all.

By the time the hurricane reached Dallas, Texas, it was
merely rain and a light wind all day Saturday. The rain hit
the north side of my house, though the storm came from the
south. I suppose that is because the wind was still blowing
in a circular hurricane pattern.

Hey Folks:
Howdy from the Texas Coastal bend which is at the southern end of
Texas' gulf. If you look at a Texas map and start in Brownsville where
Marci is (tip of Texas) and run you finger up to Corpus Christi,
that's roughly a third of the Texas coast. Rockport is only about 30
miles up the coast from Corpus. We had no rain and almost no wind in
Rockport. Corpus had perhaps a 5 foot storm surge judging from my
drive home after work on Friday. Corpus did have one fatality due to
the storm surge. A few people were washed off a pier at our Packery
Chanel. People banged up pretty well from the heavy waves there. They
just recovered the body this weekend.
Rockport had maybe 3 or so feet of swell and very minor flooding. A
boat docked at the harbor did sink due to over tight mooring lines.
Oops. One bait house I know of flooded just a bit.
Galveston/Houston to Orange is in the eastern third of the Texas coast
at the other end, so you can see how far away from Marci and I Ike
finally went ashore. I do have in laws who live in Texas City (check
that map of yours) but apart from no electricity they came through the
storm with no damage. Good thing too because I did not want to roof my
father-in-law's house again.
We're very concerned about our fellow Texans up the coast, and are
thinking about them. Marsha was born on the island of Galveston, so
she is very familiar with that place.
The Hendrix household was prepared to leave by Thursday afternoon, so
don't every worry about us making any silly bids to ride anything out.
We stayed when we were sure of Ike's turn north.
Sunday we had a cold front move through with a little rain. The old
timers around here tell me that the first cold front spells the end of
our hurricane season here in the coastal bend. I guess they know
something I don't know.
Keep safe everybody,
--
