[Tropics] 2011 Hurricane Season

What if we want it to kinda hit Houston

 

exactly...it's nice living in Austin wishing for some rain on your lawn, but in Houston, I don't want this thing anywhere near us.

 

?? It still says 4pm.

 

Reading in the comments of Masters' blog that the wind shear has dropped in past three hours.

 

I recommend evacuating Katy, storm or no storm.

 

What if I have a few hundred acres of dead grass and hungry cows?

 

I'd rather have a cat 1 pass through here than a tropical storm stal above us ala Allison.

At least the Hurricane will get in and out quickly.

 

Open up a burger stand, call it Whata-Out.

 

Advisory 2. Tropical Storm watches have been issued as well with this advisory.

 

Auction time, like all the other cattle ranchers right now.

 

Nope, I have unlimited LTE and I'm rooted so I tether via ad-hoc. No fee's or overages.

 

Seems to be tracking towards South Texas, but my StormFu isn't very strong.

 

Where do the evacuating Katy jokes stem from?

 

I believe they came about when people kept incessantly asking Berger on his blog if they should evacuate when it started to look like Rita was coming our way.

It morphed into a joke afterwards and has been a yearly thing now ever since.

 

This seems like more rain than my lawn needs. Hope it skips us, but it's looking like a direct path.

 

Damn, here I am in Corpus Christi on vacation all week, supposed to leave Saturday afternoon.

I may have to call this trip short.

 

Dammit, we need that rain....hopefully it makes landfall mexico, then takes a 75 degree turn and takes a slow, leisurely walk through Texas.

 

definitley need the rain all over the state...hopefully it isn't a bad one...

 

It appears to my non meteorologist eyes that yesterday Don decoupled and barely survived its move just offshore of the Yucatan peninsula. If you saw any of the charts making its way around weather boards, the lower level circulation moved generally westward while the mid level circulation stuck around Cuba.

The latest satellite animation seem to have two distinct circulations. One moving NW toward the Texas coast and another moving south into Central America. Did anyone else catch this? Looks like as they gain separation the real Don has finally caught its breath and is ready to strengthen a bit.

I'm interested to see what becomes of that mid level circulation now. These have been known to make their way to the surface but it can be very slow to develop.

Thoughts?

 

I just want a lot of that purple. A lot.
