I didn't see anyone on the road, everyone was staying in. we're staying at a hotel where we've been told a lot of the staff was told do not come in today. we had power outages throughout the morning and more last night so that's been an issue. there are some areas downtown that are flooding a little bit more, which is where they expected the flooding to take place first here in galveston downtown. they're trying to keep people away from those areas. you don't want to have people driving their cars through floodwaters because we know what happens. people think it's not as shallow as it is an th...

Out. we've been driving around looking at the bayous and the creeks. they run throughout the city. and they actually have a pretty good system of draining the water out. the problem is that they get sometimes 8, 9, 10, 12 inches at a time and so fast it's just too much and of course we expect that the 3 feet here, which is a big issue. so today was always going to be the lightest day of the storm. what we had that we didn't expect were tornados. we had at least one confirmed and a couple of others that were possible tornados. i just came from one of those areas, a neighborhood called santa pla...

Fairley minor from what we've been able to see from getting to the airport in san antonio here to corpus christi downed signed we've seen some larger branches. definitely one of those areas where you need your flashlight when you walk around. we drove down from san antonio. we landed about midnight last night into 55 knot headwinds. so we were coming right into some of those gusts that we saw on the back side of this storm. and we drove down in one of the lulls in between two bands of really heavy rain. it's the eastern side of the storm that gets the brunt of it and that is certainly what we'...
