Beryl Barreling Our Way?

[dartsinsa]

I am just south of 10 near the dumb Katy Mall....we had some power flicker out for 10 seconds or so, but is ok. Lost my back fence, which is no surprise, and it is pretty calm here now. Side fence came down last storm, and the replacement is rock solid, so I will try to get same guy to fix if I can (Chinese guy speaks no English). Fence doesn't bother me, it is 10 years old and was a crappy job when new, but I am a bit worried about my new truck in driveway (don't even have the license plates yet). Rain has not been that bad, but after Harvey my definition of bad certainly changed.
I think the eye is pretty much over us now, hard to tell with this stupid tracker I am looking at.
So far this has not been too bad here, all things considered.
I hope others are doing as well or better, things can be a lot different just a few miles away. And of course we are only half way through it....
Stay safe....

Lost power at roughly 3:30, Dickinson/Texas City. Wind has taken out a few trees in my neighborhood. Qute a few fences are down. Some neighbors have had some siding ripped and a few roof shingles here and there. A handful of gazebos are gone another neighbor has an aluminum shed that has both ends blown in.

A tree fell and is blocking half a street, some guy is currently trying to break it down with what appears to be a hacksaw.

Another guy was trying to tie his aluminum/glass gazebo (what was left of it) to a palm tree.

Just walked out the driveway in this dead calm, and only see one tree down in neighborhood that did not hit anything. Don't see any roof damages. Some branches broken off, but all in all not bad. I can see several fences down, but like I said they were not well made and the neighborhood is 10 years old. Hopefully round 2 will be a bit less wind, but I guess I will know in another hour. Not that I would wish this on anyone, but it is pretty interesting and disconcerting to step out in dead calm.

The map shows the eye close to Katy. Watch for moe to come as it pases.

Strong winds, heavy rain, trees down, shit blowing around, no power.
Gets calm and then hits again.
Hopefully it doesn't get much worse.

Calm now in Katy North of I-10

Eye is always calm, you guys stay safe. I was sleeping in an outside glass telephone booth in Victoria when Carla came through, decided for a different location when the parking lot wall blew down.

Tides up a lot. Nearby businesses def have water.

Some neighbors did a fantastic job securing trash cans, so there's totally not garbage everywhere.

Add another, wife heard one snap behind our fence. Found a leaky window, that's annoying.

We're two miles west of the Galleria. It was pretty damn breezy with torrential rains early this morning. The power went out at 6:30AM, still off. Minor damages. Fake trim shutters blown off, some big limbs, siding trim. Stuff like that.

If it’s still a hurricane by the time it reaches us it’ll be my first hurricane too.

They’re right for once; I can see it from here.

The power has flickered many times in the past few hours but are off now, I suspect for quite a while.
