August 17, 20232 yr Not a lot of Houstonians in here huh? I’ll take some rain but could do without the other business.

August 17, 20232 yr How the hell was Alicia 40 years ago? Wow. This picture is from the night before Alicia. Texas City. Without power for a week after. It was freaking hot.

Nah, that's what I am saying. Jaws and the sons and cousins of Jaws followed the family all over the place. I don't think storms are that smart.

August 17, 20232 yr Bring it on. But hoping the Pacific storm just moves moisture over. Not looking for anything serious, but droughts tend to end with floods. Lakes and Aquifers will be happy.

Wow - this makes me feel old; I moved to Houston in 1981 left in 1997 and Alicia was the only named storm to roll through while I was there. Road it out in my apt off Winrock, then went downtown but the office was closed so had a great lunch at a mexican place in Midtown that had no power but they cooked fajitas on the gas grill and they were selling beer at 1/2 because it was cool (not cold because the coolers were off).

August 18, 20232 yr Uh oh. We might all be neighbors or something. But we kept electricity in my hood in clear lakeAfter looking at that ramp though - we made better.

Some of the models are starting to show something very significant developing south of Cancun mid to late next week. Typically, this time of the year, those are TX/LA bound storms. We'll see, but the GoM is a powder keg right now.

August 18, 20232 yr Last tropical storm strength tropical cyclone to hit Southern California was in 1939. (LA Times has a neat look back at it: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-08-17/has-a-hurricane-ever-hit-los-angeles-before ) Parts of the California desert will get more rain in 48 hours than they've received in the past five years. Parts of the High Sierra will get SNOW!!! And.... Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, California... all in a track cone BEFORE Florida this season....
August 18, 20232 yr Meanwhile, I presume our local hope of "relief from the tropics" is deader than generalissimo Franco.

It would be amazing if Hilary would drop a rain bomb on the Colorado River and help fill Lake Mead.

Essentially "It still has a long way to go, but models are now showing the impact shifting more south, decreasing our rain chances." My impression was it will still be a storm. We don't get shit.
