Hurricane Harvey

Hope all of our forum members that live in this area or have an RV parked down there are hunkered down safe somewhere away from the storm.

Our prayers go out to everyone in the path of Hurricane Harvey. :C




Craig "Cajun" Uggen, 57, nearly floods his truck as Hurricane Harvey
comes ashore in Corpus Christi, Texas, Aug. 25, 2017.
  • Heaviest rain is in Gonzales County, east of San Antonio. We're north of San Antonio and getting the outer rain bands and wind. Not too bad right now, but supposed to get worse this afternoon and evening. One and a half inches rain measured so far, with much more inbound.

    We live on a hillside, way above the lake and Guadalupe River, so we're in zero flood danger. We have a generator if we lose power, rainwater collection, and lots and lots of food, so we're in really good shape, should floodwaters trap us here (has only happened once, for a couple hours, but it's possible).

    Our RV is at Texas Custom Coach in Pipe Creek for an update. Hope it's under cover. The travel trailer is as secure as we could make it. The motorcycle trailer is on its own...

    Brought Mom up from San Antonio, where the rainfall and flooding is far more likely. Sister, who lives in a low lying area west of SA, came with nephew, two dogs and two cats. Our cat is not terribly happy about the invasion, but it's been relatively peaceful so far.

    Great that you could get all your family to safety at your house.
    Hope all works out well for you and that they don't sustain any damage to their homes or your RV. :C

    You, your family and all the critters will be in our prayers tonite.
