My house is vibrating like a paint shaker and my truck is rocking back and forth in the driveway. Starting to think I should've taken off to Lake Brownwood.

We haven't really seen much of anything, but a couple of the gas stations have ran out of fuel cause people are filling up, plus all the evacuees are filling up. But I'm sure the most we'll see is some rain where we are. Good luck to those of you in the middle of it.

Right now my meter is showing sustained 35mph and gust's to 50. You're just down the road from me so I'm sure you're getting the same

First large limb came down at my house about 30 minutes ago. Wind has been gusting pretty good, but it is def going to get worse before its over. I got some before pics to post later. Then we can compare with after pics.

Russel, Tracy...how are your hurricane parties going? I still have power, but I heard a few transformers blow close by. We are just watching DVR movies and eating junk food. One of my crazy neighbors has been riding his mountain bike around since 6. I am waiting to see him get blown into a ditch

Did Tara and her family make it home safely last night??

I'm not having a hurricane party anymore. The wind is EXTREME and my truck is rocking back and forth really bad. The house is vibrating and shaking. I walked outside about 5 mins ago and almost face planted. The fun is over at this point.
