So what is the latest development of the Hawk and the new Bath?

No sighting yet though I know one of them is aware of it because it took a dove nearby. Have checked for feathers and none seen. I've had three or more barred owls (which are quite large in their own right) in the area that might like a dip.

I'll throw in a different bird, from a foggy day, 100 feet away.

Port O'Connor Texas is due for a direct hit from Hurricane Harvey tomorrow evening.

Anyways, here you can see they spare no expense in Port O'Connor.

At least you get a window.

I have to file a O&G Warranty Deed in Calhoun County today (fortunately it's e-file). Always wondered where it was.

I'm shocked, shocked to find no DQ. Thought it was a state law that every town had one.

I'm afraid to see what the doghouse looks like. [:D]

Harvey is explosively intensifying into a major hurricane. Worse, it's expected to hang around for a couple days.

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MI ... 2046.shtml

Key Messages:

1. Harvey is expected to be a major hurricane at landfall, bringing
life-threatening storm surge, rainfall, and wind hazards to portions
of the Texas coast. Preparations to protect life and property should
be completed by tonight, as tropical-storm-force winds will first
arrive in the hurricane and storm surge warning areas on Friday.

2. A Storm Surge Warning is in effect for much of the Texas coast.
Life-threatening storm surge flooding could reach heights of 6 to 12
feet above ground level at the coast between the north entrance of
the Padre Island National Seashore and Sargent. For a depiction of
areas at risk, see the Storm Surge Watch/Warning Graphic at
hurricanes.gov.

3. Devastating and life-threatening flooding is expected across the
middle and upper Texas coast from heavy rainfall of 15 to 25 inches,
with isolated amounts as high as 35 inches, from Friday through next
Wednesday. Please refer to products from your local National Weather
Service office and the NOAA Weather Prediction Center for more
information on the flooding hazard.

4. The Potential Storm Surge Flooding Map is available on the NHC
website. This product depicts a reasonable worst-case scenario -
the amount of inundation that has a 10 percent chance of being
exceeded at each individual location. This map best represents
the flooding potential in those locations within the watch and
warning areas.

Looks like another town is going to have to get a Stalking Protective Order against geofflambert.
