I stopped at the Walmart in Clarksville around midnight Sunday/Monday.
Realized I didn't have enough AA batteries for the AA adapters for both
of my BG6 battery grips. As it turned out, I didn't need to use them,
but I had the AA batteries.

Thank you!
It would've been nice to have a pleasant company there.
(We ended up watching it from McGregor Park Riverwalk.)
We hadn't known that we'd be going that way either, until just a day
prior to the eclipse.
We were set for Nebraska, but the weather forecast got worsened
in the last 2-4 days. So, Friday night (or Saturday morning?) I made
a reservation for a hotel on the way to Carbondale, IL,
and then Sunday early morning, I've pushed it even farther east, toward
Clarksville, TN, for which the forecast was the most promising.
In any case, most likely we wouldn't have had time to use your
hospitality: On the way there, we stayed overnight in Jackson (which
was more comfortable for the 1st day of travel), from which Clarksville
is just about 2-2.5 hours of driving.
We left within an hour after the totality, and our plan was to drive
back in one day (into the night). But due to the delays on the road, we
stopped in Texarkana, and finished our travel next morning.

I didn't know you had traveled to Clarksville! I would have invited
you over to the cabin we rented.

The projected path of the hurricane rather closely resembles our
last week's travel to the totality path (Clarksville, TN).

As my friend commented: "There seems to be aspiration towards totality
in Harvey's path".
@Gonz: Glad to hear a confirmation that you are alright too, neighbor!

I forgot that you were at TAMU. Glad you are safe and did not take
the brunt of the storm. Though please continue to be careful as the
storm is forecast to go back in the gulf then turn north.
