It's big, mean and nasty. I'd say run as fast as you can in the opposite direction. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

I grew up in Houston and all my Family lives in Ft. Bend Co. which is southwest of Houston. My brothers have beach houses in Port O'Connor and Rockport. If the eye passes anywhere close to the beach houses the will be gone from the storm surge. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

I spoke with all my family tonite and they are leaving Thursday morning unless the storm stays on a westward path.

I was in Houston for Hurricane Alicia in 1983. that was a Cat 3 storm. you couldn't drive in downtown houston due to all the falling glass from the sky scrapers. some streets had several feet of broken glass. and the flooding was bad.

i'm more worried about the wind on this one. it's clocking at 165 mph now and that's going to take quite while to slow down and could do extreme damage 50+ miles inland or more. not to mention all the flooding from rain fall.

Speaking of politics and hurricanes...

This is only for mere WTF factor. No slant expressed, or implied, just WTF... wearing a tinfoil hat may help when reading this.

I hope you Texans stay safe. Go inland, take everyone w/ you you possibly can. Just take care!

Hey Joe B. - Fellow Texan here - Howdy
I was born in Houston and grew up in LaPorte, Southwest, right on Galveston Bay. I remember Alicia, we no power for 7 days, and the water came right up to our front porch. My parents still live there, They left for Dallas and my brothers house for the time being. I still have several friends in the area, in fact one was getting married this Sat. They're moving the wedding to Las Vegas. One of my friends owns a Rock-n-roll Club call Scout Bar in Webster near Clear Lake. The place backs right up to a Bayou. He spent all night last night moving all the expensive gear out.

On the NOAA Site you can check bouy reading, earlier today one had a water temp of 87...

Before you call others "Stupid" maybe you should do a little research on what causes hurricanes. I'll give you a hint: It doesn't involve "global warming"

Oh please! Everyone knows that George Bush causes hurricanes, because he hates black people... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) and Texas?

I'll bet Karl Rove isn't a Texan.

As a matter of fact I DO know a little about weather systems and they get their strength from the warmth of the water they form over...whether it's a pacific typhoon or a hurricane the warmth of the water has EVERYTHING to do with the strength and size of the storm...and even a 1 degree difference in the water temp has a huge impact on the system...now you do YOU"RE homework.

Jim,

If you want to continue putting your foot in your mount go right ahead. I'm not going to stop you.

In fact, as part of my "homework" i was watching a interview with a former NOAA expert on the subject of Hurricanes just last night. Where he discussed : The warming of the ocean that causes Hurrincanes is "Cyclical" and it applies to a specific area off West Africa. It has no relation to any "global warming".
