Blast...Don't you live North of Houston?

I have the plywood, water, tons of food, beer, wine and extra propane, gasoline and a plan to leave if necessary.

Talked with a guy from NOAA and he live within a mile of me and he indicated that if the right storm hit Galveston Island we would have 4 to 8 feet of water in our houses. He said he was more worried about the winds since we are less than 20 miles from the Gulf as the crow flies!

My house has the hurricane straps and storm doors and window; not sure how much help any would be in a cat 4 or 5 storm.

My company is preparing by moving all computer equipment/servers offsite to a secure location away from the coast. We are within blocks of Galveston Bay. I think lots of people are preparing but not nearly enough.
