Tropical Storm Edoaurd is heading our way. We were sent home from work at noon to prepare. We decided to not evacuate because of the low intensity of the storm at this time. We cleared out all the loose items in our backyard and put them in the garage, filled up a couple of spare water jugs.

The irony of storms like this is that the weather was very nice today. Few clouds and a little warm (and by a little warm I mean the mid 90s). But that’ll change overnight. It’s expected to hit the coast tomorrow morning sometime between 10 a.m. and noon. Our emergency plan, if things get bad, is to hop in the Suburban and head to my parent’s house up north of downtown Houston. We will have our cell phones with us, and will be doing our best to keep everybody informed. We hear text messages have a higher likelihood of making it through during busy times, so if you can’t reach us by phone try that.

If you’d like to follow along, I’d recommend the National Hurricane Center website. The National Weather Service in League City is literally down the street from us (we can see the radar dish once you get out of our subdivision), so what happens there happens here.

Don’t worry about us, we will be safe, and we will not be going to work tomorrow. Have a good Tuesday!
