They have them all over Europe. At first I thought it was weird but they really make a lot of sense. Marfa would have been great!! :)

Yeah, I'm gone too if it's a Category 3 - Jonathan's grandpa will have to sit it out by himself! :: Glad you're okay! :: I didn't sleep either. I was about a quarter scared something would come through a window or the roof, and three-quarters FASCINATED by the sheer force of the thing. We had a neighbor whose old mature oak tree lifted-levitated-launched out of their yard, roots and all, hopped the 6-ft picket fence without touching it, and landed right in the middle of their next door neighbor's back yard. How is that possible?! :: Weird: the empty shelves at the grocery stores for days afterward. :: Random: 10 days without electricity sucks in every way. I'm kinda thinking I ought to buy some sheets of plywood in the hurricane offseason - duh. My neighbors are nice people. Mosquitos apparently prefer Karlos blood to anyone else I know. My dogs will stay in the yard, without a fence - that's nice. Traffic lights that work are good to have here and there, and maybe it's time for hurricane-zone city planners to think about roundabouts. :: I learned I prefer a hurricane ANY day to a tornado - at least the wind direction changes slowly, you know where the next punch is coming from. And I learned what you learned: gas cash batteries and water - oh, and well ahead of the storm... hotel reservations. We ended up in San Marcos. For a while there, I thought it might be Marfa! Ha ha.

I'm glad to know y'all fared well enough.
