Doesn’t matter. It’s waiting for you. Go early and the storm just moves faster. Delay and it will wait. Cancel and it will just track your ass down.

This isn't like the Jaws franchise.

Zepol, you should go.  Steamboat said he's having a party, gonna be lots of drinking, fighting, and fucking.

So far, the guest list is just the two of you.

Shoot these storms right up 35 please and thank you 

If we're lucky they'll slow down just a tad going through New Braunfels up to Georgetown... as would anyone traveling 35.  Not too much... don't want Wimberley wiped out again.

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

Did you forget that in the fourth Jaws movie, the fucking shark followed the airplane from Massachusetts to the Bahamas?

I’ll bring the cholas. Hurricanes suck but I do miss the Hurricane parties when I lived in Pensacola

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.

History is on our side.  Next week is the anniversary of all of our big ones.  Friday is Harvey

Fuck Harvey.

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.

This. Slow drenching rains would be a godsend for Southern CA and AZ. People would be dancing in the streets.

Flying back to LA Monday, I should probably move that to up a day or 2

I was supposed to go to the LAFC game on Sunday night. First time for my wife and daughter. Did not imagine that we'd be looking at a rain-out in mid-August in LA.

same.  i'm supposed to be at hollywood bowl sunday night.  i was more worried about fires.  oh well.

If Austin got 1" of rain every time a weatherman said "it's a complicated setup" the lakes would be full, the temps would never break 100 degrees, and it would be paradise.

"It's complicated" = nada.

What other movies had Michael Caine, Mario Van Peebles, and his dad, Melvin Van Peebles in them?

Plus, I was not quite able to get into Rated-R movies easily at that point in my life.

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).

I did this last year when we got our first rain in about three months. But I was standing in my driveway and had not just crawled through a half mile of sewage pipe. 

The fuck is that big red dot bearing down on Houston at the end of that gif?

Are you my long lost brother?  Alicia was the first eye of the storm lever saw.  I had the same quarter pipe with a sheet of plywood and a sawhorse…

Uh oh. We might all be neighbors or something. But we kept electricity in my hood in clear lake

After looking at that ramp though - we made better.

 

Holy crap. That is creepy.

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.

Storms don't take things personally, Mr. Brody.

This is beyond fantastic.  Holy shit 

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....

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.

Lol. Watched Yeoman's tonight. 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.

It was ALWAYS going to be that way. Only Charlie Browns running up to kick the football ever thought any different.
