Thanks for the comments and concern about what turned into Hurricane Humberto. Fortunately for the Houston area, the storm veered east and made landfall right at the Louisiana/Texas border at the last minute. Those poor folks are still recovering from Hurricane Rita of 2005, too. It doesn't seem fair. As for us, we got no wind, no rain, no nothin'. Today it's beautifully sunny and slightly cooler.
Now we're feeling a bit foolish as we
--put the patio furniture back on the deck
--take the potted plants back outside
--put away the lanterns and flashlights we had at the ready yesterday evening
--remember that we didn't go to choir practice and Bible study last night because we thought Humberto would be here as we tried to drive home.
Oh well. Better safe than sorry. At least now all my flashlights and lanterns have fresh batteries!

Glad y'all survived. We did get a little wind and rain (and media hype!). I think we are kind of looking around sheepishly too...We're all so gun-shy now that we seem to be erring on the side of caution.
It's better to be careful than sorry. There are so many people here on the gulf coast (like me) who have not lived through a hurricane, that it is better to get prepared than be foolhardy. Glad you had no ill effects.
No feeling foolish now. You truly just never know with hurricanes.
Make me take the plants and patio furniture in and out twelve times rather than have a hurricane/tropical storm. And, fresh batteries are a great thing!
Glad you got nothin.
