Flatland Shooter Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 The effects of Harvey may or not affect us just north of Houston, but it didn't stop folks making runs on stuff at the grocery store. I noticed the bottled water, battery, bread and potato chips shelves were all empty. I was in line at the register paying for a few things when a guy with a cart loaded up with 6 or 7 cases of Budweiser got in line. Me: "You having a party?" Him: "Nope, they ran out of water."

BritinUSA Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Its Texas; The storm will probably go weak at the knees before it hits… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Part_time_redneck Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Mississippi boy here. When I saw it was on the way I deliberately made a trip to Texas earlier this week to fake it out. After it began making a beeline for TX I scurried home to MS. Katrina still too fresh on my mind. Hurricanes have a way of chasing me. Joking around and thoughts and prayers to you guys in TX. Hope it loses strength and isn't too bad on you guys. Best wishes - Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatland Shooter Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Here is a picture of our community pool. At least we can see the top of the slide. A little harder to see is the fishing pond on the left. Nice little 3 acre pond for the residents to enjoy a little fishing. We restocked it about 6 weeks ago.
