[2017] Hurricane Season

Nice. I am about to head there. Ill give an update in case anyone else plans on heading there.

 

This is almost certain.

 

RGV cancelling school. Ugh. I don't see the problem...I've got a boat, kayaks, and a 4x4. DON'T TAKE MY RAINY WEATHER DAY!!!!!

Key takeaways

• It is likely the greater Houston area will see unpleasant, but manageable wind impacts initially from Harvey. Some tropical storm force winds are possible Friday night and Saturday morning. At this time I do not think power outages will be too widespread.
• Rainfall remains the primary threat. Saturday afternoon through Tuesday, travel may become difficult to impossible. Some areas will probably be fine, but others deluged. Totals are likely to be higher closer to the coast than for inland parts of the Houston metro area.
• For Houston, the heavy rains will probably begin to wind down from Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning, with residual problems into Wednesday.
• Flooding concerns will extend from south of Corpus Christi all the way to southwestern Louisiana. Flooding problems will likely be widespread, with potentially huge impacts.
• Risk seems to be increasing that Harvey will re-emerge in the Gulf of Mexico early next week, and retain Tropical Storm intensity, or stronger.
• People in Galveston, and close to the upper Texas coast should consider preparing for high tides and potential wind issues on Monday and Tuesday, just to be safe. (We really don’t know how serious the threat is that Harvey will re-emerge into the Gulf, but it’s worth watching.)

 

Wow this is a lot worse than I initially thought it would be.

 

Ditto. I've been conditioned to think nothing will really happen from the past couple of supposed serious storms, but I think this one is for real.

 

LOL

 

Is it wrong to assume hurricane Harvey's gender?

 

Studemont Kroger and Patterson Walmart are completely out of water. They are both PACKED.

 

No because there is no assumption to be made when they tell you it's a male.

 

could be a b**** tho

 

No it couldn't.

 

UPDATE on Harvey.

 

I guess I don't really get the run on bottled water. Just fill up your bathtub(s) and you'll have more water than you can even fit in your car at the grocery store.

Anyhow, if that thing goes up the coast heading northeast like the latest track is showing, we won't be on the 'dirty' side anymore. Or am I reading that wrong?

 

So yea, Krogers at Shepherd/11th, super packed and no water (not even sparkling). All of the cheap beer is low stock as well.

 

I guess we would be on the dirty side until the eye passes galveston. The surge would reverse at that point

 

I don't wanna drink water that's been stewing in the bathtub. I pee in there.

 

Central Market is on FIRE. No survivors.
