Chinese drywall/sheetrock from Lowes and/or Home Depot! OMG, we had the same fiasco!

Henry, yea, we mentioned it in the Florence thread. I think some people never made it over here following the site update.

Yes, Henry, with the incredible maps!

I live in Rockport, TX. I'll be very happy to not see another storm again. (Previously from Galveston, so I've seen my fair share, but Harvey tore us up!)

Sort of off subject, but there needs to be a Special Hell for contractors who scam folks. I recently heard of another scam, "overseas adoption agencies", they take folks money, 1000's of dollars and lie, then, just "disappear", with the money.

This may help folks :

advisories for Atlantic tropical cyclones are normally issued every six hours at 5:00 AM EDT, 11:00 AM EDT,5:00 PM EDT, and 11:00 PM EDT (or 4:00 AM EST,10:00 AM EST, 4:00 PM EST, and 10:00 PM EST).

or to put it another way ! basically nothing is going to change for hours in terms of changes

As landfall gets closer they might increase number of flights into the beasts

Hi....in the event that some of my Louisiana neighbors are watching this thread, I thought you would enjoy the listing of hurricanes.....
This is one of the best sites. I started looking in the 40's as I experienced my first hurricane at that time.

I live in Colorado at a high elevation so no chance of a hurricane reaching me. I did grow up on Maryland's Eastern Shore so we did get some catergory 1 or 2 hurricanes now and then but for the most part they had been weakened to tropical storms or tropical depressions.
