Good luck to you, Blacktop, and to Blane and Blast as well. My sister -- the one living in Galveston -- has of course evacuated ... with tides predicted about 19-24 feet above normal at the height of the hurricane, I think she's assuming that her home will be toast even though -- like most houses there -- the actual occupied space starts 1 story up from ground level. Fortunately, she's got a close friend in Dallas....
