It appears to have made just enough eastern turn that it missed me. No power out and not enough rain to even mention, not bad since I'm only 35 miles from the center of the storm. The counter clockwise rotation might give some showers overnight but I think this thing will soften up by tomorrow. 13 years ago I had 90 mile an hour gust and it lasted about 4 hours, the next month is when the bad one centered on Galveston and Houston and lessened the population of Galveston not to mention the land mass. Galveston has been losing about 2 inches per year of land mass for decades. The only reason that last causeway bridge was built was to evacuate the island due to a boom in population. I watched the Belgium GP this morning starting at 7am and it rained so hard there the GP was ran for 4 laps behind the safety car then called with qualifying laps the winning positions. So we aren't the only ones with bad weather in August.
