I wimped out! I'm in a corporate apartment in Lafayette LA. Tropical Storm winds here right now, rain bands passing every half hour or so. Still powered up.

I expect to have one hell of a mess when I get to the house tomorrow afternoon. They are expecting 4 to 8 foot of water in my neighborhood. Streets were beginning to flood when I left at 10AM.

Truck is parked at the terminal lot in Beaumont, north of I-10...so it should ride out the storm ok.

If the truck is in Beaumont, I would be worried. That ain't far enough inland, I wouldn't think.

Good luck to ya, dude.
Act churlish, when the wind blows...

I feel sorry for you people down south of us here in West Texas, but we here in Lubbock went through our own just 2 days ago.. SUCKED.. I live out in the Cotton fields and when those get enough to soak up, they over flow the streets.. Just need to get the boat out!!

But now It is HOT, and Humid, feels like I live in Dallas or Huston right now.. Cant breath, and again I am sick.. SUCKS.. My defense system is shot..

Best of luck to Y'all down south and don't send it our way! :shock:

Local news is reporting that downtown Orange TX has 9.3 feet of water from Sabine Lake storm surge.

No electricity probably for 3 to 6 weeks.
