Friday Afternoon Update

So today has been uneventful. We woke up and this is what it looked like .

You could hear our neighbors up and at it this morning, a few boarded up while others were bringing stuff from the outside, inside their houses.

We checked the news out and nothing had change. We then decided to go on a walk and I decided to document considering it is mine and Addison's first hurricane. I took some before shots. This is the sky.

This is our street. It was very humid but otherwise a very pretty day. We saw a few others out walking/running this morning. It seems like quite a few people stayed in town.

By now we were suppost to have tropical storm winds from the outer bands with winds around 35 mph. We haven't seen any of it so far. Galveston is already starting to flood and the hurricane is still pretty far from landing. The hurricane is a Category 2 but the water surge is a Category 4-5, 18-20 foot tall surge. They are saying they eye should hit Galveston as a Category 1, which is better than the Category 3 that was orginally predicted, but that can all change.

Here is a picture that was just taken from our house. The sky has been gray since around lunchtime. We had a little sprinkle that lasted about 3 minutes.

On the Addison front I took some pictures of her knee walking around the house today. They aren't the best pictures. Ignore the box in the background. I am working on clearing stuff out to donate to charity.
