Don't know if we have any members down in Brownsville, but good luck to everyone down there. Looking like a direct hit or just about. Hopefully she moves thru quickly with minimal damage.

Its supposed to rain like cats and dogs the next 2 days. Better buckle in for a 2 hour commute each way with the accidents that always happen.
