[2017] Hurricane Season

Prayers my friend.

I'm sure your anxiety is at a ridiculous level.

 

Apparently, the hurricane is making another turn towards Houston.

 

Feels like mother nature's own dunkirk when the alert on the phone goes off.

 

I saw this too. Basically after that one band that has already formed on the West side, the storm is pulling in a pretty large trough of dry air from Western US that has already ruined their future cast (it was showing bands formed already on their future cast that didn't exist). His hope was to drag in more dry air and increase the gaps between bands and help break up the storm. All according to Frank.

 

Well today has really helped the neighborhood. Entire area has drained. Now we wait for the return.

 

Ho-lee-sheet. It has finally stopped raining in my area of the heights. I have slept only 4 hours and this is the first time since yesterday around 2pm that there hasn't been at least a drizzle.

 

Yeah hopefully it keeps sucking in that dry air from the west. Also said some of the rain bands shown on the weather map were false and not as strong as they looked.

And if it moves bacj out onto the Gulf and strengthens (while also moving east), maybe some of that water will get a little extra push out.

 

A friend of mine posted this on Facebook.

 

I think this was on the news and debunked as fake

 

Your friend is full of ****

 

How is I-10 looking west of 610?

 

They are but it's been a slow process. Channel 13 has had a few updates throughout the day.

 

Why isn't he killing those ants right now

 

Ben Taub is sending its patients to surrounding hospitals. MD Anderson is relatively unaffected.

 

So I have a rental car as my car is in the shop. I was just finally able to get to to and the entire inside got flooded but it started and I backed up into some grass on a higher spot. Will they consider it totaled?

 

I didn't check Snopes or anything. The friend just re-posted it. At least the picture on the bottom left seems to be in the news, though?

But to say a hurricane is going to make a second landfall in Houston (a sexy, clicky thing to say if one’s goal is to capture widespread attention on social media), and all the fear that entails, strikes us as unjustified at this time. If our thinking on that changes, we will of course let you know immediately.

By far the biggest threat remains additional rainfall from Harvey, and forecasters expect and additional 15 to 25 inches of rainfall during the next three or four days. If this falls over areas of Houston already hard hit by Harvey, well, we don’t need to tell you how bad that will be.​
