Hurricane Harvey - Day 1

We experienced a little bit of the hurricane prep when we lived in Beaumont.
Once we evacuated to Austin for a little weekend get away
and with Ike we left in the middle of the night and ended up taking a 2 week hurrication.

This time is a little different.
With 2 girls and 2 dogs
and a storm that went from a Tropical Storm status to a Cat 4 fairly quickly,
we decided to try the 'hunker down' method this time around.

We stocked up on water, food, and batteries
and made sure we had flashlights and candles ready to go.
Matt took care of the generator and a window A/C unit if necessary
and we filled all the bath tubs just in case.

And then we waited.

There was wind and rain and our lights flickered a few times,
but we had no real issues and are safe and sound.
