[Ike] New Tropical Threat

Just so everyone knows...

As the eye comes over you, you may have up to 3 hours of quiet.. then you stand to have an equal amount of time of storm as the back half comes through.


So, don't go out thinking it's over in an hour, hour and a half or so.


Wait until the media is giving an "all clear" type message.

 

unless there's some volume channel control that I'm not seeing, it's kinda annoying that all the channels sound are coming at the same time even if you blow up one of them. appreciate it though.

 

What's the best channel to follow this stuff on?

 

There is a mute button and volume on each frame near the center of the bottom

I'm watching 11 in HD.. KHOU via TXCN in Plano, TX... and the link ^

 

Outside lights just went. I'm hearing rumbling in the sky

 

Their house should be OK since they are on the Westside of the storm. Maybe shingles or a fence, but nothing significant.

Electricity?
They might be out, but they wouldn't be the only ones in the Houston area.

 

Any other updates from Angleton? I live in Angleton but evacuated to San Antonio. I'm keeping up locally on The Facts newspaper website (www.thefacts.com). I heard the Brazoria County Courthouse in downtown lost parts of its roof.

Where in town do you live?

 

Boats capsizing in a shot on Ch. 11.


Wayne Dolcefino on 13 (video on link) is a nut!

 

77018 shepherd and 43rd power has been out for about fifteen minutes I think that's it..

 

6 ft. of water inside the Galveston County Courthouse! per KHOU

 

Thanks, my mom's of Baker and I-10 (windsor lake area), so hopefully things are all well with her also.

 

Eye wall (red part on doppler) is about to hit my area...

 

NOOOOOO!

That's pretty close to me.

13 just confirmed the eye has landed.

 

Solved issue, won't show correctly on firefox but will on IE.

and as I type this the power went out twice.

 

Hmmm... I have Firefox 3.0 and it's just fine...






Here are some good forum links... damage reports

I wonder if Tim Meton on KTRK is saying to himself, "wtf, I cover Houston sports not hurricanes!"

 

Nice Texans hat though...


Did you hear him say they drove over the Ship Channel in this mess?!?

 

got Firefox 3.0.1 here

I'd rather go to sleep but can't.

 

I was sleeping just fine until we heard an explosion or something down the road. Woke up and now my nasty cold is keeping me awake.

 

Did I hear right? KHOU reporter getting word a tree fell on his house and is choking up about it?
