Jesus Christ..I am posting info I find. You can disregard it. Not all things will pan out.
I am not going to deep dive into all the info. You want to deep dive..then do it.
Rita was the traffic nightmare and Ike was running from the water surge. I just went inland abt 25 miles on Ike. I plan to never do another Rita type evac again ... ever. I’m from Seabrook.
Well, it jibes with what FNC has been reporting. And the Weather Channel just reported that there’s a possibility that the 4th largest city in the US coils be flooded not just once, but twice if Harvey loops around.
Is Houston the 4th largest city in the US?
If so, bugging out of high risk areas sounds like an even better idea.
Highly questionable. 50 inches? Really?
Radar shows a faster than prog’d storm about to move ashore. It also shows it somewhat drier than forecasted rain bands - also good.
Plus Houston has hardly been touched.
The person posting this panicked tweet says “south of Katy”, an unusual way to phrase it the way we Houstonians really would, i.e., south of the Katy Freeway.
Bear in mind also that the Mayor Houston is a Democrat, so if he and the city council are withholding information critical to safety, it falls upon them and they know it.
My vote is that this is BS.
Thank you!
it will be impossible to know where the max rainfall will be until it is happening
training and overlapping of those trains will but the key
also as the storm weakens storm motion will slow down
I doubt NO FLOOD MODEL will have this much rainfall over a wide area to predict the results
Short and not so sweet answer is "No and **** No."
If they're still operating the way we did back In The Day, everything that could get off the ground has been sitting on flightlines 300-500 miles away from Corpus for at least three days now and everything else is under cover and tied down double or triple tight.
ESPECIALLY the helos.
That's the Bad News.
Good News is that everything but the Admiral's Siamese cat will be on the way to the "sound of the guns" two seconds after the pilots even think the winds have dropped enough to make a Marginal departure.
...and, Lord Bless 'em, some (or maybe most, if "my" Navy hasn't changed) of those guys won't even wait that long.
That said, I'll just repeat the Via Con Dios.....and that offer to come run down to Tejas still stands.
Rockport is a Whooping Crane sanctuary. It’s survived over the years and I pray it continues to.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Camille
Hurricane Camille was the second-most intense tropical cyclone to strike the United States on record. The most intense storm of the 1969 Atlantic ihurricane season, Camille formed as a tropical depression on August 14 south of Cuba from a long-tracked tropical wave.
Located in a favorable environment for strengthening, the storm quickly intensified into a Category 2 hurricane before striking the western part of the nation on August 15. Emerging into the Gulf of Mexico, Camille underwent another period of rapid intensification and became a Category 5 hurricane the next day as it moved northward towards the Louisiana–Mississippi region.
Despite weakening slightly on August 17, the hurricane quickly re-intensified back to a Category 5 before it made landfall in Waveland, Mississippi early on August 18 with a pressure of 900 mbar (hPa; 26.58 inHg). This was the second-lowest pressure recorded for a U.S. landfall, only the 1935 Labor Day hurricane had a lower pressure at landfall. As Camille pushed inland, it quickly weakened and was a tropical depression by the time it was over the Ohio Valley.
Once it emerged offshore, it was able to restrengthen to a strong tropical storm, before it became extratropical, being absorbed by a cold front over the North Atlantic on August 22.
Seriously???
You say that to ANYONE who says anything about any of your bs posts, on numerous threads.
What’s next? You’ll start posting to yourself, to get your ‘unnamed sources say’ info out?
Stop. I posted facts, unlike you.
Amen.
Gov. Abbott's statements are dangerously stupid. The local TV stations aren't reporting what he said at all -- not even to shoot it down. If people left now, they'd be on the highway -- gridlocked -- and exposed to whatever weather conditions may exist.
Houston is not in any danger for severely destructive winds. Rain will be a problem, but it would be a problem in any other city people would go to. So going to San Antonio or Austin wouldn't reduce flooding risk. Besides, Houstonians should leave the hotel rooms in San Antonio and Austin to the people who had to evacuate Corpus Christi.
We were there just last month for a family reunion weekend.
Why don’t you deep six your own post since it is a total hoax? Why should the rest of us clean up your mess?
Yes, Houston is the 4th largest city ;-)
Knock it off. I am posting stuff I find on twitter that frequently beats the news channel
SO TO PLEASE YOUR RIDICULOUS POSTS
I WILL POST DISCLAIMER ON ALL OF THEM.
Thank you Jane. We don’t need the drama queens during this disaster spreading rumors.
