re: #290 klys (maker of Silmarils)

Given that the temperature of the water in the gulf is around 87 degrees, I expected it to intensify quickly.

Our house is in a neighborhood that is 20-30 feet above Corpus Christi Bay, and about 4 blocks away from the water. In May 2016 we got 12-16” of rain overnight, and our house/street/neighborhood did not flood. I’m not really worried about the house.

My work, however, is a different story. As I have mentioned before I work in an assisted living facility, and one of the wings of our building flooded during that storm. It took a full year for us to be back to normal and we lost a lot of residents immediately after and during the construction phase. Business-wise, we can’t take another hit like that.

All of the managers are required to be at the community starting tomorrow morning and we will stay here until the all clear is given. I don’t expect to go home until Sunday evening at the earliest. My executive director has said my husband and dogs can come here too, but he’d rather stay at the house to deal with anything that happens there.
