[Ike] New Tropical Threat

why would they cancel a flight that long before the bad weather even hits the airport?

That doesn;t make any sense. It won't happen.

 

Yes sir, I just wanted to go to her work and confront the a$$clown who is trying to pull this crap

 

because bad weather will be at the airport well before 9:15 tomorrow evening.

storms don't start when the eye passes over...we're talking about 30-40 mph winds in Houston starting tomorrow morning or early afternoon with storms.

 

Do you know how far north IAH is?

Planes land in 30 MPH winds all the time.

 

and any airline worth it's wight will start flying as many planes as they can out of IAH in the next 24 hours to get them out of harm's way.

where are the rain bands? i cant find a satellite image that shows them anymore??

 

That's stupid. It's a commuter school, what about those kids who live in the vulnerable parts of town and need to evacuate now?

 

Commercial planes try to avoid doing so because it's dangerous.... especially when those winds are unpredictable like from, I dunno, the outer bands of a hurricane.

If you're landing into a headwind of 40mph and it suddenly stops, you can stall the plane and it falls like a brick.

 

well guys

if we are still here after this is done, hurricane after party at my place.

I'm here for the duration, best of luck to all of you.

 

That's UH fer ya!

 

Is Sugar Land area high risk?

 

I'll hold you to it R2K. I am with you. My grandma, my mother, 3 dogs, brother, wife and I will be here for the duration.

 

this thing hasnt strengthen in the past 24 hrs, what if it just stays how it is?

 

you should call in anonymously and voice your concerns that a supervisor is giving false information in direct conflict with a harris county judge. if you're not in harris county just figure out who made the order.

 

I live in stafford, and closed to sugarland... Anyone knows if I should stay or go?

 

That is a good idea, we are still planning to leave either way at noon. We will have to fight it with this clown after this is all over. If they give her anymore crap I will just have plaster the company's name everywhere I can.
sssssmmmmmeeeeeaaaaarrrrrrr job!!

 

Has Cy-Fair ISD closed?

 

BTW, I am shutting down and best of luck to everyone. I hope everyone is safe and they have minimal damage to property

 

Cy Fair ISD: Closed Friday, Sept. 12; 8th grade open house has been cancelled for Thursday Sept.11

Right now the projected path brings the eye just to the west of Sugar Land. So, Sugar Land may get hit hard but we're inland by 50+ miles.
