I am way out in west Texas so I am missing this storm.
Everyone stay safe.
I called home and not to much yet is going on.
I hate this storms.

I might lose power for awhile, but I can live with that.

(2,962 posts)My house in Houston built in 1930.
It is over built.
Built off the ground, almost 3 ft.
The guy who built it survived the 1900 hurricane in Galveston.
Feels strange bring so far away.

DU Houstonians please stay safe and check in when you can!

(145,666 posts)It appears that the storm has shifted to the East and this has lowered our flooding chance https://spacecityweather.com/as-nicholas-nears-we-are-lowering-our-flood-scale-alert-for-all-but-the-coast/
We are in Stage 2 flood alert which should be okay. We had no flooding during Ike or Harvey

Called the house and everything is ok, just some wind.
Could have been worse.
