There's a hurricane coming

 

To the Texas Gulf Coast, but we’re not going to be there to see it (or to run from it).  Mustang Island, where we used to live at Gulf Waters RV Park, might get a direct hit.  Most of the island is 3 to 6 feet above sea level.  They’re expecting an 8 to 10 foot storm-surge.  Doesn’t sound good.  What would a barrier island that’s 6 feet above sea level look like in a 10 foot storm surge?

 

Then it’s supposed to rain for days.  The entire island is under a mandatory evacuation order.  We’ll probably get a lot of rain at Sandpipers down in the Rio Grande Valley too, where we live now.  Flooding.

 

We drove east to Twin Falls, ID today.  Finally getting less forest fire smoke than we’ve had for the last six weeks.

We’ll keep an eye on the storm from way-north, and hope for the best for everyone and everything in the path of this hurricane.
