My daughter and son in law with their newborn baby live in Tomball. They are "hunkered down", but I am worried about them and all the poor souls near the Texas coast. I hope everyone gets the rain they need without any human cost. Keep your knickers dry, Caustic!

Don't take this the wrong way, but yall got your rain a couple weeks and didn't share. ;-) We are going to share so does that give us good neighbor status or what?Horticattleman":83d98110 said:

Looking at the weather this morning I believe this thing is centering up on you. Baton down the hatches, and best of luck. Looks like we will be on the clean side. I hope those in Central Texas at least get some rain out of this. There has to be some good that comes out of this thing.

Looked at the latest track this morning.....the center line goes 20 miles to the east of my house near Tomball, where I'm hunkered down, and then goes 20 west of my small ranch near Trinity. My gut is telling me I'm going to have some aftermath to deal with, perhaps in both places. This storm is huge.

Still a catagory 2 and no apparent eyewall. Winds were out of the east this morning but have shifted to the north and starting to get heavier clouds. Don't see any rain bands within 200 miles. They are all in Lousiana, Mississippi and Alabama.

Shoot, we have a 100% chance of rain and an inland tropical storm wind warning all day tomorrow. I think I'm gonna go to the grocery store and watch movies tomorrow. I had better get some DVD's as I know that I can't rely on DISH to see me through on this one.
I can't imagine what it must be like living someplace where this sort of thing happens with regularity.

I cannot imagine, either. Tornados, we got 'em. Hurricanes, no way.

Don't let the goofballs at chanel 3 yank your chain. Top winds are at 110 now, it is still centered off the coast moving at 12 mph. you are 100 miles from the coast. Think a bit of the chance of it maintaining 100 mile per hour winds for the 8 hours it will take it to get up here at that speed. Now if you catch a tornado from it they will be grossly understated. :lol: I forget the name of the one that hit Houston in the early 80's. It knocked the windows out of the buildings in down town Houston. Just a bad thunderstorm by the time it got up here. Center of it passed between west of Madisonville.
I'm 25 miles to the dry side of you. Not worried about much besides the amount of rain I'm not going to get. Got that big hole in the center of it just like Gustav had. Course at least this one, unlike Gustave, is pushing a little rain ahead of it.

im lookin forward to some wind. just hope the power stays on so i got light to read by. other than that looks like it will just be a good storm. I feel sorry for the folks still in galvestin (not sure how to spell it). Being told to write your SSN on your arm. Thats not a good sign for them.

Get this folks, Winds have shifted to the NW and are blowing at about 23, still no rain.
It is raining on Cattlehand over in Bryan and is as close as about 10 miles to the east.

I believe that one was Alicia. I went down the he coast the summer after that one and saw all the big boats washed up three blocks back. They said that at Surfside the waves were breaking three blocks inland. Breaking, now... I bet the house we stayed in is gone.
I am waiting for daylight coverage to see what happened. All that night footage is useless.
