June 10, 20241 yr Was thinking about what to do for Father's Day. Kids are grown up so I can do whatever I want. Might head on down to the coast. Anyone know where there is a blue shed?

June 11, 20241 yr Author Good agreement among the models that we will get a storm off the East Coast. Main concern will be the rain it drops in Florida before it scoots off:

June 12, 20241 yr Hope that second one stays subtropical come right up the Mexican coast and heads into the Central Texas Region. Based on Wundergrounds 10 forecast it might be so.
June 12, 20241 yr Author Very strong signal for a storm in the Gulf next week. If this avoids getting stuck inland or on the coast we could see an intense hurricane.
June 12, 20241 yr That thing will wait until I leave town on the 19th and then slam right into Houston. You're welcome.

June 15, 20241 yr Never do the i10 evacuation again I’ll got the long way through Victoria or something
June 15, 20241 yr On a related note (crossposting from Port Aransas thread) When we arrived at Port A on Monday, my niece and her husband were 30 miles south on Padre Island. She took this pic - it was one of three in the vicinity that day…

Huh, I left coastal Brazoria County for Rita following that route and it only took about an hour more than usual to get to the parent's place outside of Wimberley. But the key message is never head toward Houston when evacuating. Edited June 16, 20241 yr by WBT

June 16, 20241 yr I know we shit all over the rate of road construction (mostly rightfully so), but y’all do realize Rita was 20 fucking years ago, right? There has been a shit ton of road expansion since then. Ike was only a few years later and it was a relatively easy evacuation primarily just due to better logistics/planning/messaging.

Despite not living below sea level. After Rita turned and the Houston area got nothing, they swung back to thinking they'll never evacuate again. People are dumb. Edited June 16, 20241 yr by WBT

It’s cool if you want to get out but do it a few days earlier. Much easier in todays world with more WFH options.

Screen shot of what he sent my wife: So the San Marcos river floods by Sunday? OK, will get all my fishing in before then. When do I water my lawn to make sure this happens?
