Sorry all. Gators are not to be avoided. They should be invited to dinner. Quite tasty. Especially the friendly ones who come on porches. Solves several problems.

In season. With all the proper permits & governmental what-not.

Spending my informative years in SW Louisiana & falling for a little French girl gets you into the family. C'est bien? And they teach you how to cook. And eat. Oui, c'est bien!!!

Now seriously, we are out of onions & may starve.

How does a coonass bake a cake?
First, peel an onion...

What's for dinner Kiki? We had black-eyed peas with onions & Rabideaux's pork & venison sausage (yep, I'm bragging!)
Low carb diet, so staying off the rice (mostly). Sweet tea & family.

Are you sure your not from here or did you just soak up a lot of the best qualities we have down here
 
Do hurricanes usually take this long to pass over or is it just because Harvey is so huge?

Just all depends on the pressure systems surrounding the storm and how fast the storm is moving the the high pressure systems can push or keep it in one area depending on what direction the pressure system coming from and where its going
 
Harvey was a large, powerful, well-developed storm traveling over quite warm water, so he was packing a lot of rain with him when he made landfall. Once he made it to Texas, he seemed to lose all sense of direction. He sort of wandered on shore, then stalled. Normally, once the eye gets over land, a storm loses strength rapidly, but Harvey never got very far inland, and with some of his feeder bands still over the warm Gulf water, Harvey managed to maintain a certain amount of structure; he just sat there and pumped all that Gulf moisture onto the land. Now the eye has backed out over the water again, and the storm has regained a little bit of strength. But it is a very lopsided, unhealthy looking storm with lots of dry areas; and it is finally (slowly) moving to the east and north. Some storms have strong steering currents that move them rapidly along their courses, but Harvey's currents were weak, and he was blocked from moving by ridges of high pressure. I've seen storms wobble and stagger and stall for days in this area, and I've seen them move along like they were on rails - it all depends on the rivers of air they are traveling in.

Hurricane Mitch was one that got stalled out and trapped by the mountains down in Honduras for over a week
 
All I keep thinking is "Houston, we have a problem" and Glenn Campbell singing "Galveston, oh Galveston".

Apparently celebrities are having a donation drive for the affected. Sandra Bullock reportedly gave a million, apparently she lives in Texas.

Not sure how many wrestling fans we have here but I know the WWE is doing what they can to help with donations and I know there is at least 1 wrestler that is there and has been riding out the storm with you cuz he lives in Huston
