    Extra bedroom here in MKE, Terry. We are 40 miles north of Kenosha so no issues so far with peaceful protesters burning down homes, shootings, looting, etc.

    Well it looks like Houston area is going to be spared the brunt of Laura, it's going to hit land east of Beaumont/Port Arthur on the Louisiana/Texas border. We'll get rain and wind but nothing really bad. We can actually use the rain, but not 15-18 inches! It's going to have a strong storm surge and do a lot of damage though where it goes ashore. It's going to move pretty fast inland and towards the east.

    Anybody heard from Marco lately?

    Bill might actually get some of Laura given the tracks that I see.

    Sure wish we were getting some of that rain...
    Even our cacti are starting to look at the sky with a little wish-fullness!

    Yes Terry once onshore the track shows it coming over us on Friday. 30-40 mph, lots of rain.
