Friday Storm Surge

Got up and about a little this morning. Looks like the surge is around 2' this morning. Winds are presently NNE about 12 mph. Radar shows one strong band offshore on the long range setting. I drove to my workplace but someone finally wised up and closed it, been nice if they had let me know so I wouldn't get up and get dressed to go, but oh well. Low lying roads like Todville are still dry, but the water is up and as soon as the wind starts to blow they will become impassable. Cat must know something's up because he sticking pretty close to home today. Got my ice, bathtub filled with water and all my bait buckets filled also. Roads around here are deserted, and all businesses are closed. Radio is only reporting traffic problems, exploding buses, people dying of carbon monoxide poisioning, and stuff you would expect - anything except something meaningful or useful. Think they are only broadcasting to an audience of about 200 because everyone else is gone - oh wait, there are still about 5 million people still circling loop 610 looking for gas and trying to get out of town. Will try to post a couple of pictures, and more later.
