You can replace your junk. I'm rather fond of my junk. Lol. Forecasted eye is about a mile or so from the house. We'll look at it again tomorrow. Sometimes they take a jog overnight or lessen in intensity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of you folks close to where it will be the strongest are in our prayers! However, if Laura gobbles up your extensive liquor supply I hope, in her drunkenness, she wobbles off towards Yuma, AZ and misses us up here in East Texas!!!!!! Looks like we are going to get some heavy rains and winds up here, but both will be greater over near the Texas/Louisiana Stateline. At the moment they are projecting that it could still be a Category 1 when it reaches Shreveport, LA; YIKES!!!!!! I went out today and got extra gas for our generator just in case we have any power losses in our area! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries - you’re prepared. Kites, parachutes or stake yourself down and ride her out — Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
