Hopefully all PTO members who live in and around Galveston Co., Brazoria Co., and the coast all the way down to Corpus Christi and up to Beaumont are already on the move to get out of there, or soon will be..

They are saying the storm surge could exceed the sea wall in Galveston... That is hard to fathom but if that does become the case all of us know it won't be good..

Much love to all of you... Be safe!

I have a bit of a meteorological bug in me and follow hurricanes rather closely. I'll be posting my own updates in this thread as it goes, in case anyone wants to follow.. I sure hope my weather station can handle the winds!

PTO's servers are located down town Houston but hopefully we won't have any problems. The data center we are in was purpose built to house the big corporate data base servers for a lot of the big oil companies in Houston and has a backup generator a few stories above ground level. If for any reason the main site does go offline the system will automatically re-route to the backup community until the primary is restored. Again, I don't forsee that happening but I just wanted to address the issue.
