I live in Houston, Texas. In about an hour the outer bands of Edouard will start to hit the city. I am expecting that we will lose electricity at some point.
The storm is supposed to move through the area by early tomorrow morning. I will be up and blogging again tomorrow.

Hope the storm doesn't affect you too badly, bonddad. Living in FL all my life, I know how it is.
Good luck, Bonddad. I recall a time in the early fall about twenty-five years ago, when I was attending a business conference in Houston with a hurricane threat hanging over the visit. The flight into Houston the evening before the conference and hurricane landfall was perfectly standard. The hurricane's outer bands made landfall overnight and some folks staying in the hotel's upper floor rooms had to move downstairs because of the threat of broken glass and water leaks. The conference occurred without any disruption, the weather outside during lunch looked dreadful but had cleared totally by the end of the conference. The hurricane weakened by evening and flights out of Houston weren't even disrupted by that night. For the conference attendees, it was almost a non-event. May this hurricane landfall be as benign.
Do you read Eric Berger's SciGuy Blog on the Houston Chronicle website? He's been very busy following this year's hurricane season.

We pretty much got a pass here in Houston (at least where I am inside the 610 loop), we'll see how much rain gets dumped inland further up the watershed...
ironic note:
you take the day off and the market
jumps ;0
hope you are well
