Wife has been bugging me about buying a place on the beach. This thread is a good reminder as to why I keep saying no

The cost of insurance alone would cover about 4 Airbnb stays.

That’s why I’m looking into buying one on a nice, calm European beach.

Just sold the last beachfront spec in Galveston. Threaded the closing needle between Laura and future beta. 
 

I’ve never seen real estate market so strong in Galveston. Title companies can’t keep up, they are requesting 45 day close in contracts.

It’s crazy. I’m in the old town and a house a block away that is about half the size of mine (and not as nice) is currently on the market for what I bought mine for two years ago.

You should contact SquishMitten's wife and send her pics of your place.

Pick a model, any model. Any one you pick is predicting a shit ton of rain along the coast next week. GFS has 19+ inches in Galveston and 16+ inches in Corpus. image.thumb.png.132b0805de86215b684d15d24fd483c5.png

Damnit.  I'm supposed to be going to New Orleans Monday through Wednesday.  Might be a pain in the ass getting back in to Hobby Wednesday afternoon.

Coastal Flooding warning for Galveston area.  My wife is with friends at a house down at pointe san luis (far west end).  So, her road home is either up Galveston or Follet's island.  If any of y'all locals get notice that they're going to shut down those roads, can you post?  Don't want her to get stuck there.

Depending on the elevation of the land under their house they might need to worry about tidal flooding and their cars.  Especially if they are on the bayside.

They're on the beach side.  They're 4 houses back or so, and the dunes there are pretty stout....but I'm more worried about the road between there and either Galveston proper or 332 at Freeport.

They'll close the Bluewater highway when the tides reach the road, thats the best way out, then take whatever you like. I'll leave Galveston,  hit highway 6, then fart around up to El Campo, then 71 in to Austin. Fuck Houston

Yep, familiar with that -- family used to have a place in Surfside.  I think the BEST way out.....is whatever will be open.  I think Bluewater gets water over the road more easily than San Luis Pass road (the Galveston side of 257/3005).

The causeway stays open till winds are around 40 mph if I recall. The predicted   20 inches of rain will flood out 61st  to  Broadway though.

Understood.  We'll just keep an eye on things.  Her plan is to come back Sunday afternoon anyway, just hoping she doesn't have to cut it short.  I'd hate to make my girlfriend pack up and leave our house early.

Been here since Thursday a week ago. Hadn’t paid any attention to the news. Water was pretty calm Wednesday (snapped the line on a massive trout), went back today and it was a fucking beating being waist deep in the surf.  Gave up fishing and had to tell the little ones they couldn’t get past knee deep. Just found out about the storm.  Glad I paid the insurance today.

The NWS.

With that cone they should have named it Violet.

The mountains of Portugal and Spain will tear that storm into Alpha bits.

Screw Hobby. Book that long weekend extended stay now and have yourself a fine time. You deserve it.

Beta seems like the kind of storm that'll flood meyerland for the 4th time in 5 years

This was my thought as well.

GD meandering storms are no bueno

Drove through Lake Charles yesterday. As usual, attention has been turned elsewhere, but it is utter devastation.

 

I’ve been through Rita and Ike and the visuals, at least from IH 10, are sobering.

 

If anyone is inclined to donate, then do so. Seems like our Cajun brethren are getting lost in the shuffle.

It really shocks me how they have been forgotten.  It’s horrible

Will be interesting to see how much of an impact the recent drainage projects have.

Personally, I don’t spend any more time in New Orleans than I have to.
