I'm in Georgia, so I'm going to be getting some banding off the damn thing, I feel for you though, I used to live in Florida. Right on the coast.

Houston will be mostly unscathed, looks like. I live pretty close to the coast (within the Houston area, anyhow) and my college (UH-Clear Lake) emailed all students and said we're not expected to get more than one inch of rain here.
Stay safe, everyone.

Stay safe, everyone. | I'm in Nacogdoches for School. We'll probably get some heavy rain up here.

Of course, our fave bassist in the 'hood needs Bubinga
tops on the sheathing.
Given how often you use it, boutique sheathing is going
to be the next fashion statement
"WOAH DUDE, you are using that crappy 4ply plywood from
Home Crapot? NO WAY!'
Clueless neighbor and Gtard wannabee 'Yeah, that's all they
had!"
Spiffy Spenser , "Uh, yeah, I ordered mine 3 years ago, had
them custom fitted to each window out of 13 ply baltic birch
with a top veneer of Bubinga, with chromed hardware,
completely sealed and sound insulated. They are built in, just
push a button and they deploy; push another and they detract
and stow themselves.
Guitard: 'Whats 13 ply bubinga bitch?

As well as that, put them in cases, preferably hard cases, and wrap them multiple with trash bags and anything to help keep the water out

| | | | Those pics bring back memories when my area got slammed by 3 in about 8 weeks in 04. I hope the umbrella and the lanterns and other loose items in those pics were picked up before you were done. If they weren't they are gone for sure once the storm hits.

Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. If you think you have enough ice and batteries, buy more. Something I learned by living through George, was that you see the wind blowing from one direction,(storm front) the wind stop completely and you think it's over (eye) and in few minutes later the wind blows from the other way. (back of the storm). Be carefull, be very carefull.
