Let's keep our fingers crossed that Texas doesn't get slammed :pray:

Royal...what is it looking like there?

look like it eventually will leave Cuba, I feel bad for my homies they have gotten hit pretty hard this year....Texas looks like a possible target....
Susanne have you seen this site...pretty cool all the things you can do
Track Hurricane Ike / Stormpulse / Hurricane tracking, mapping

Thanks Swamper :)

I'll take hurricane information anywhere I can get it :faint:

I'm thrilled to see that there are no storms behind Ike...my cruise leaves in 11 days! :whew

It almost seems strange that there aren't any behind. I'm glad though. I hope it's all over for the season. Wishfull thinking but why not right?

I'll take it...you just keep up that wishing stuff ;)

I guess they're thinking it'll just keep going strait. If it does, I won't see much of anything. vmaxx and orchidexpress might get more weather than me. If it makes a turn to the north like Gustav did, it could impact us more here in east Texas (I'm about 100 miles north of Houston). Folks in LA need a break too. Some are just returning home from evacuations.

I know some parts of TX could use the rain, just not all at once.

Royal, for some reason I thought you were between Houston and San Antonio?

Nope, north of Houston and west of Shreveport, LA. The "Piney Woods" as they call it is not how you normally would picture Texas. I was expecting cacti and tumbleweed. But it's very hilly and has lots of mixed pine and hardwood forests. It's really a beautiful part of the country, more like the SE US than the rest of TX.
