Yikes ..
The new projected path is now predicted to make landfall at High Island. For all practicle purposes, this puts Galveston and even Dayton in the direct path. We aren't on the projected "dirty side", hopefully we won't get the full brunt of the tidal surge.The traffic has been horrendous. Equality talked to a man who drove 10 hours from Texas City to Dayton this morning. His cat was sick, and he was coasting on fumes trying to get gas down the road. He's trying to get to his family in Livingston and doesn't know if he'll make it or have to stay in his car on the side of the road. I am supposed to go to Baytown this morning, Coming back will be an ordeal I don't look forward too.

Hi,
In the Netherlands we don't have experience with hurricanes. Our experience are little tornado's.
I hope that this time everything is arranged better than in New Orleans.I can imagine it must be a disaster to leave your home and everything you have worked for.
However on the other side being alive is more important.
I wish you and your family all the best and I hope that Galveston, as I understood a nice little town ,will survive.
I will have a look now and than on your log. The hurricane is daily news here.They tell us that it will land Galveston on saturday with less strength than now, but still much too strong.
Take care...
Many kind regards fm Rotterdam in Holland.

Ela,
We`sure apreciate your concern. I've spent a little bit of time in Amersterdamn, and I understand that we have learned a a lot from your country on how to deal with unruly coastal waters. For that we are grateful.
You are right Galveston is a wonderful town.
