As slow as its moving, I wouldn't be surprised by a class 4 landfall. Rain and floiding isn't the only concern. Winds will be high for many hours non-stop, tornadoes, trees down, etc. |

We also have a Coleman propane stove and propane, but I didn't think that would do us any good since we can't use it inside? |

At that point, you can go outside & use it. You're absolutely right about it being pretty useless in the worst of the storm. |

Annas right once the storm has passed you ''ll be glad for the stove. Take it outside. Don' t feel weird because others will be cooking out. It becomes a camping trip at home. Back to basics. As long as nothing is damaged, you'll spend a lot of time waiting for power to be restored. Board games, drawing, reading, etc... It can be fun if you stay positive. |

Oh, ok. I keep forgetting about the after, I'm so used to the power being restored quickly. We also have a cool weather radio my dad sent us for Christmas a couple years ago. It also charges phones! And if we and up not needing all our supplies, I'll have a head start on my North Korea stash!

As of 6:30pm, it hit category 4. Corpus Christi residents who had not evacuated already were told it's too late. To make sure they write their SS# on their arms so they can be identified  Lord have mercy. It's best to leave to safe shelter. It can always intensity or stall and be relentless. |

Southern Belles are always right, and we ne'er tire of it just ask Julia Sugarbaker (ficticious character).

I saw a bunch of people in Corpus Christi on FB, saying they were going to stay there and "ride it out".
