text:  And did you see signs of people preparing and taking barrels seriously? Yes. In Corpus Christi, Aransas Pass, and Rockport communities we visited yesterday, we saw homes boarded up, businesses closed, and indications that some people had evacuated. At a marina in Rockport, boat owners were busy all day retying their boats and trying to protect them from the wind and storm surge. I talked to Bill Krennic when he was at work on his 35-foot sailboat.
