Sounds like it's going to be a fun night at your house, Ibex! We called the uncle in LA to invite him to come (tho our weather may be worse than his) and found out he has covid! He got the shots, too. He sounded in good spirits, just was coughing his head off. So he's staying home. He's near Beaumont TX so the storm should be traveling away from him (and towards us!)
So far, no signs of bad weather coming. Not even wind.
