Anne, I live in the Austin area. We aren't in any real danger here. At most we will see some high wind and heavy rain. I live on top of a rolling hill, so no danger of flooding. It looks as though the I-35 area won't be hit to hard. Right now the predictions are for the main storm to move up along I-45 which is east of here. I just had a call from a friend and batteries, water, generators etc. have been sold out in the stores here. All the Motels are full. So people are getting prepared. Thanks for your concern.
