This is a bad girl 165 gust and water temperatures are conducive to strengthening. Only positive I see is she is moving fast.

:lol: My dad used to throw us on the back of his motorcycle every time there was a report of a tornado in the vicinity. To go find it, not get away from it. (He was good at finding trouble in more ways than one).
it won't take but one to change your whole perspective....NonTypicalCPA":1ntiibst said:boondocks":1ntiibst said:NonTypicalCPA":1ntiibst said:I have to admit, I'd be tempted to be one of the last ones to evacuate. I love to watch a storm roll in.

I told my wife that I want to see a tornado once in my lifetime. It's pretty boring here in Michigan-other than about 75" of snow every year. But given the choice, I'll take boring over hurricanes and tornadoes.

Relief as long as it stays like it is.
It could become O Crap pretty quick with the water temperature.

I hope you never see the full effects of one. Two sided coin there Brute you probably would like the other side.

We live it all the time. We still aren't totally 100% after Harvey. People are moving cattle of the river bottoms right now. We are pinched between the SA River and Guadalupe and can get totally cut off. It doesnt even have to rain locally... just up the river. Ive been on atvs and horse back pushing cattle out where the water was hundreds of yards out in the am and when the last ones were loaded the trucks had to be moved on the black top.
We just do it. We dont cry about it. We know the risk of living where we do.
Im going to run 2 hrs home today after a 14hr day to move cattle out of a creak pasture, probably after dark, just to wake up at 4am and drive 2hrs back to work in the am.
Its part of life on the gulf coast... always has been... always will be.

Nothing like the areas nearer or on the coast but quite significant for this area. It is perfectly calm and still yesterday and today, like the "calm before the storm" saying goes. Kind of erie feeling.
