Rita is coming to Houston

[bluedempsey]

I got tipped off by the LFS that they got in battery powered air pumps today. I made it there as fast as I could and got two big ones, some extra air hose, splitters, and a ton of batteries! This could really save my bacon!

good thinkin!

I have two battery operated air pumps, which I plan on alternating on my tanks.

How's it going there, Cab? The weather maps show it getting awfully close. Here we're starting to see a bit of wind and the clouds are starting to make an appearance, but it's definitely not a storm here yet.

Hmmmm.... Cab's off now. I hope that's not a bad sign.

just looked at the weather map, and looks like a ton of rain. I wonder how long before the lights go out.
