I just went on a long bike ride and took some pics, ill post em in a little. Winds are just now picking up..

 

sorry I had to chuckle at the irony.

just be safe and don't worry about the grass.

 

that reminds me, on my bike ride i've seen one guy watering his grass and another guy blowing leaves off his driveway, now thats irony, lol...

 

no that is stoooopit

 

As happy as I am we're not getting a direct hit, is anyone sorta unhappy it appears we're not gonna get much of nothing? I mean it's great we're not, but after all of this work my dad and I've put in the last few days I hope we at least get some rain out of this.

 

You have one hour to edit posts.

BTW--keep us updated, any pictures?

 

The roads are empty. Their is not much going on. The wind is beginning to pick up.


Almost everything is closed. I found a private supermarket that was open yesterday. This was probably the last supermarket that was open in Houston. They were still letting people in, 15 minutes past their closing time. The place was like a zoo.

 

dude, you have an empty city. Go out and drive like a crazy a$$!!!!! Do eveything you could ever have dreamed of. I go out early, thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter morn when nobodys out and it's great! But you have absolutly nobody to stop you, you have the city as your own personal race track!!!!!! hope ya horded some gas

 

Where is this place? We are holed up since Katrina on W Alabama just inside the loop. I can spit on the Galleria from our apartment. Nothing is open around here. We spent the ENTIRE day fighting off cabin fever. (It is good baby-making weather though!!) We found THE LAST open Quizno's on Richmond near Westlake last night, and that was it. I'd kill for a gigante fajita burrito from Taco Cabanna right now!!!

I'm so bored. According to the radar, this thing should have at least brought some high winds by now. I've barely got a drizzle and every so often the trees rustle a bit but nothing major. I'm glad we're not getting pounded like was predicted a few days ago, but I'm already getting a little cabin fever.

 

Yes it is pretty mild so far. The roads are wet. You cannot haul a**.


Of course you do not have to wait very long at a stoplight.




True about Cosmos. I drove by their a few hours ago. I am not far from there. Their was a bunch of white cars with blue letters.


Cosmos is at Heights Blvd and Washington. It is just north of Washington. It is just west (about three miles) of downtown. Taco Cabanna ? Forget it. No beignets either. You can find a Hurricaine though. Not the same from Pat O's !!

 

They say it's come ashore now. Anything happening in Houston?

 

I just got off the phone with my sister in Bellaire, so far she lost power but it's fickering on & off. She also added that they got very little rain, just some high winds that took out a couple of small plants. So they are safe for now. (whew) Getting back into Houston for everyone else is going to be another problem all it's own.

 

Nothing really major up in The Woodlands. Very little rain and a few gusts up to maybe 30-40mph. The news is saying we're about to get another band.

 

Our power has flickered on/off a few times. There is a slight drizzle, and worst of all, there are 10-15 leaves blown into the pool! Also there maybe a few twigs in the parking lot. I'm sure glad I didn't spend 24 hours on the road going up to Waterwood. They are getting HAMMERED big time. No power, and 100 + mph winds off of Lake Livingston....

BTW, anybody know where there is gas? I was supposed to head back to Nawlins tomorrow to go bAck to work, but 1/2 tank ain't gonna cut it.

Dave

 

I found this on another forum Keep in mind this is in west Houston, about 15 minutes from where your at. Good luck Dave.

Westheimer Report (Food, Gas, Liquor)

Little Nipolis - Voss and Westheimer
Wings n Things - Voss and Westheimer
HEB Kirkwood and Westheimer, they have gas also
Specs on Westheimer before Dunvale
Sholatskis Deli on Briar Forest and Westheimer
Papas Liquor Fondron and Westheimer

 

Thanks. We just took a ride around and every gas station open (mostly shells on 59) had 100-150 cars in line. I don't need gas that bad. I'll be here for a while since I-10 east is closed at Lake Charles. Guess I'll have to cancel my plane tickets. I was supposed to be home by now and flying back next weekend for my birthday. Gonna keep my 'Stros/Cubs tix though!
