[2015] Hurricane Season

It'll have passed by then. You'll be fine.

 

Well fooey. People will be at my house on Saturday and I'll be driving down to League City from NW Houston. Sounds like I'll be screwed.

 

You should definitely contact the place where you are staying to see if they sustained any damage that would prevent you from staying there.

 

Dang, its looking pretty bad on this camera.

 

Should loose a ton of power over the mountains.

 

Stuff like this is never ever accurate. Of course it's always the strongest at the origin.

 

This usually means I'll be grilling by the pool in complete sunshine.

 

How do you feel about no electricity or running water? A hurricane can wipe that out for days if not weeks.

 

This is probably the best feed right now. Looks intense!

 

So 16-20 inches possible here, but 8-12 in Puerto Vallarta? Of course...

 

Sitting at work, I've had this on in the background. Fascinating to see the difference in the height of the tide, and how the winds have picked up / broken branches...

meh, that's nothing. They aren't standing in the wind reporting with a microphone -- Geraldo Rivera

 

Watch it drizzle tomorrow afternoon into Sunday and that's about it. The mountains in Mexico are going to shred this hurricane to pieces. The moisture and lift will be there for heavy rain but I don't think it will be as widespread as the media and models are leading it to believe.

I could be wrong, but a storm that rapidly intensifies like Patricia did (you have to have a small core/wind field for this to happen) will rapidly die in the mountainous terrain awaiting her path.

 

Here is a video of the Hurricane Hunters going through Patricia's eyewall earlier this afternoon. It is pretty cool

I just got off a flight from DFW to IAH. That was no fun. I fly a lot for work, and it was the most nervous I've been in the air in a long time.

 

Damn bro I bet that **** was scary with that huge line of t storms you had to fly through.

 

imagine if there wasnt the mountains there to slow it down. YIKES.
