    Harvey is currently a Category 2 hurricane,with wind speeds up to 110 mph. It's expected to reach Category 3(major hurricane)status before the eye makes landfall. Glad I got a load out of Laredo before the storm even formed (3 days ago they were discussing and forecasting Harvey-more than enough time for people to prepare).

    Glad your out of the way. I live in Corpus Christi which should be getting hit soon, and I'm in Baton Rouge. I'm expecting the worst.

    Same here. Some of my relatives were hit hard by Tropical Storm Allison back in 2001(one of my aunts was flooded out of her 2nd story apartment in Houston) and Hurricane Alicia back in 1983. Ironically my cousins were mostly spared from the wrath of Hurricane Ike. I don't know about this one though.
