August 25,26,27 Harvey---------Should have left

Hurricane Harvey made its approach Friday evening into Rockport. Devastating  results for that area with winds of 130 mph. We are a long way from there but because it stalled and is just sitting our area has received record amounts of rain. At our home we have been extremely fortunate for now. If our creek can continue to drain we may make it without water getting in our house. We have never had water in our house but this is an epic rainfall storm. We have had electricity the whole time so far. I have a generator to run a few things if power fails.  We have just hunkered down here. Susan has been sewing and I have watched weather (when our satellite tv could get signal) .  This morning I  cleaned a few guns so I was productive. We are here for the duration as all roads are flooded anywhere we could go.  All in all we have been blessed so far, but another two days most likely.
After our first rain band Friday
