Halloween Eve......

Tornado this morning in San Marcos, heading towards Austin...I have to go visit Jack and Glenn's dogs (while they are in China) then James and I have to go with Robert to take July to the vet- we may have to put her down....the rain is fitting :(

Tomorrow night, we plan to go to Bill's for Halloween, should be interesting...

Texas wins in the rain!

Well, due to Patricia (the hurricane) we got a lot of rain and rained all day on friday and saturday! had tickets to see the horns play, but decided not to go due to the rain- which it id during the entire game...hardly anyone was there. Watched the game in my pjs and in bed...james and i stayed home all day. We ended up with 5 inches of rain at the house and some folks got more, but Austin missed the bulk of the rain- I was kinda hoping for more rain, but oh well....glad our lakes and lawn got the rain.

Hurricane Patricia- brining lots of rain and heading our way!

This has been named the largest and potential most dangerous hurricane ever recorded in history and on earth! crazy.....we are waiting for the rain to come, over ten inches of rain is expected in Austin and central Texas....more to come.

Patricia -- the strongest hurricane ever recorded -- barreled closer and closer Friday morning to Mexico's Pacific coast, where residents have been told to brace for its 200-mph sustained winds and torrential rains.

The Miami-based meteorological center, in its 10 a.m. CT (11 a.m. ET) advisory, warned of a "potentially catastrophic landfall ... in southwestern Mexico" late that afternoon or early evening. While its strength could fluctuate, "Patricia is expected to remain an extremely dangerous Category 5 hurricane through landfall."

Patricia has potential to cause massive death and destruction over a large swath of the Mexican Pacific coast, including the tourist hot spots of Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco.

Citing observations by hurricane hunters, Patricia is "the strongest hurricane on record in the National Hurricane Center's area of responsibility (AOR) which includes the Atlantic and the eastern North Pacific basins," according to a Friday morning forecast discussion.

The closest contender, at this point, might be Hurricane Camille when it battered the U.S. Gulf Coast in 1969. Regardless, Patricia looks to be more powerful than that storm, Hurricane Andrew in 1992, Katrina in 2005 and many others.

It's already surpassed them in one way: Its central pressure reading -- the weight of the air above a system -- which is a key measure of any storm's strength.

The early Friday central pressure recording of 880 millibars (the barometric pressure equivalent is 25.98 inches) "is the lowest for any tropical cyclone globally for over 30 years," according to the Met Office, Britain's weather service.

Amazing Tx vs OU Game!

Watched the game by myself and in my PJs....loved it. Exciting and stressful....after the game, I had to go have a beer to celebrate...went with Wyll to Handlebar for two beers then went home.

Hook'Em- love my boyz!

Jay and Jeff visit Austin

WOW- had a great time with both J's the night before they flew back home. James got to visit and spend some time with them during the week. Great bunch of guys, but now I know why RYE relies on James so much- just saying.
