Thanks Paulette - but where I live now in East Texas is not nearly so much in harms way, though the estimated path is shows the storm coming directly across where I am now (between Dallas and Tyler) with possible gusts up to 58 miles per hour. I suppose I am more worried about tornadoes and heavy rain, but we should be just fine. Though it has rained lightly many days and everything is as green as springtime, the lakes and ponds could use a good rain (just not TOO good - lol)
My other location is in the hills of Southwest Texas between San Antonio and Mexico. The storm will have no effect at all there.
The downgraded wind predictions for Zoe are heartening. I was worried for my rascally friend.
