Unfortunately, the bad stuff is going to hit us just as it gets dark. Riding out a major hurricane in the dark – probably without electricity – can be slightly unpleasant.

I’ll be up capturing video and photos, monitoring the police scanner, and posting upates throught the night and early morning – at least as long as the Red Bull and broadband hold out.

   Thanks. I expect the situation in Galveston in the AM to be absolutely tragic.
