Storm Warning

As most of you know, we have a house on the Texas gulf coast. It is located on a salt water creek that feeds into the gulf a mile or so downstream from us. This morning the hurricane center has issued a tropical storm watch for the area where our house is. That isn't really a warning yet but it does say; "Be alert for further notices as the storm moves forward". It actually looks like the storm will be making landfall to the south of us but that places us in the northeast quadrant which is the most dangerous side to be on. The storm will probably not get to hurricane force before it makes landfall but it could. We will just need to wait and see what it does. Our prayer is that wherever it goes, our state will receive some badly needed rainfall. North through central Texas would be nice.
