  • It's amazing to think that the most severe flooding seems to have happened after hundreds of thousands of new homes, and thousands of new roads were built on the north end of a waterflow basin.

With the big High pressure system that's settling over my house, this storm will be lucky to make it to the Texas coast.  And if it does, it will simply bounce off, or vanish like Keyser Soze.

headed to NOLA Wed-Sun...will report back on cannibalism.


At least they’ve upgraded the Superdome since Katrina. It should be pretty nice this go around.

as long as there are no bodies in trees.

This could be very dangerous if it gets enough time over the gulf. The gulf is steaming right now and shear isn’t supposed to be a factor. Most models also forecasting rapid deepening at some point doesn’t help.

My wife read that the Kroger’s in the woodlands are already out of bottled water and bread. The hype is built up in order for grocery stores to sell product quickly in my opinion. Then again, I said the same thing before Harvey.

'specially when it's her deceased old man. You gone get laid, brother.

Any idea how things would be looking for a Friday day trip to Galveston? No rain in the forecast so far

Just got back from the Caribbean so I have to catch up on this thing, but it looks like it's going to pull North or east and not so much toward us. How have an update when I get my ass in a chair here tonight.

Well Galveston kind of sucks, so you are already off to a bad start.

Yeah, I don't think this is going to do much west of New Orleans. I'll keep an eye on it but for the most part, nah.

De plane flies tomorrow, should know more about it. 

Stay away from Galveston this weekend 

Looks like this is not going to be a big deal for Texas at this point, save maybe the Sabine River area.   The more it heads east,  it will suck up moisture and pump up the temps across most of the state.   And after a wet May and June, so be it!  

BTW ....  Here is a good message board to follow during hurricane season and other severe weather events.   A bunch of Texas based Mets from both the public and private sector post on here.

Mississippi cresting at close to capacity flood stage within days of the rain hits from that storm.

 

I see nothing to worry about.

Just scrolled through it - kind of hard to know which thread to read. Wasn’t a thread clearly marked “Barry” for simpletons. The thread ATL: invest 92L seems like the right one but hard to know 

Any guidance?

Yeah, Storm2K is like here during football season, with 1000's of posts for a single storm.  But they organize storm threads into "Models" "Discussions" and "Recon." 
"Recon" is for numbers, wind speeds, pressures, nerd stuff.

"Models" can get interesting for seeing the (dozens of) different models.

"Discussion" is where you'll find chatter about the storms, with personal predictions and local observations.  This is the most useful place if a storm is close to you.  Otherwise, Models is good in advance of a storm, like a few days to a week prior.

Yes that's it, go to the one marked "discussion" .  Page 15 is the latest info.

Yes.   They are real quick about changing the titles of the threads once storms form and then named.   Use the little map at the top of the forum for guidance on the designations of the different systems.

Should have seen it last night. UKMET is factoring in the suck of Okie. Very astute variable to include from the Brits. 

Got my plywood, if it stays that course, or goes further west, probably head south, then make my way up to Austin. Avoid Houston at all cost. 

 

I'm guessing this is off the info the hurricane hunters gathered? Or have they not flown through yet?

Yeah. That would wipe out every everything within 50 miles of the coast in east Texas and Louisiana.  Biggest disaster ever. 

that's an eye of sauron shit.
