Get ready for the “Trump and FEMA ill-prepared for hurricane” headlines soon to pop up on every MSM news outlet.
The CDC, the FBI, State, the DOJ, the IRS, the CIA, etc al...are all compromised.
Is the NWS?
Can we trust that they aren’t deliberately screwing with the forecast in an attempt to get Trump to cancel Thursday’s speech?
Damn not again. I’m directly in its path it would seem. Rita fell two big oak trees on and through my roof and this one is so far following her path nearly exactly. Oh well button down the hatches and hold my breath.
Did not see this happening given the storm passed over both blocking islands. They estimate it will weaken a tad from 4 to 3 at landfall BUT that is immaterial as this is a dangerous storm with a huge storm surge coming with it. If in the path please get out.
Living here on the OBX NC, I know their fear, horror and anguish. I have been there myself. Prayer up for the Gulf people.
Cr**...That means it will probably affect us here in Upstate NY.
Bye bye Houston.
Denver Or Bust
They passed up a great opportunity to name the hurricane prior to Laura - Karen.
Well, fortunately I’m to the west of it. But Istill expect some heavy rain, probably 50mph winds.
If you look at the first animation below, just as it stops and loops, you’ll see 4 clouds and a lighter one over Texas just west of the Louisiana line, while the animation stops briefly. I’m underneath that lightest cloud on the right.
Right now, it’s partly cloudy, I can see some clear sky, but it won’t last long, expecting it to be overcast again within an hour or so. By the time it gets here it should be slowed down enough it will still be rough, we’ll lose power for a few hours, but I have several kerosene lamps ready and will probably go get a coleman out of the shed.
When it hits the coast, it will be slowed down quite a bit by Port Arthur, Orange and Lake Charles. Then there’s Jasper and Woodville, but mostly small towns other than those. Cameron LA will be wiped out again, it was demolished about 10 years ago, not sure how much they rebuilt.
Going to be rough here but I’ve seen worse, unless the west side decides to spin off some tornadoes. More likely the east side, but possible. Just showed some friends last night pictures I took of a neighbor’s house with a big oak laying on top of her bathroom...about 2 feet diameter where it hit the house. That was 20 years ago, 23 trees down in her back yard.
So we’re not unfamiliar with rough weather, Id o need to go pick up some water, have some but maybe not enough, otherwise all I can do is sit here and wait...
Sept is the worst month for hurticanes, with Aug coming in 2nd. We are 5 days from Sept
Why should this surprise anyone? Didn’t Harvey got Texas last few days of Aug?
Beaumont floods when the sky clouds up.
I was listening to some local news down here and heard an older gent say him and his wife would NOT evac if the order was given because of... COVID. Yep, they’re more afraid of COVID than a killer storm. I can’t get my hands around that.
