Hurricane Emily

Looks to me like it's going to plow into the Yucatan and then stagger into Mexico where it will break up over the mountains. Hopefully, there will be a big plume to the north that will dump rain on Texas.

[Sam Cree]

A good call, I think. Wonder if she'll hit the Texas coast after? I'm just thinking my lucky stars that she's not heading for So FL for a change.

[Strategerist]

That's a good possibility that it just plows into Mexico, but thing is when it's in the Western GOM you're looking at a 7 day forecast; any sort of trough or weakness in the high over the US that occurs then, is a feature over Siberia now.

[Gabz]

Did you break your ankle? And, is your give a damn still busted?

Yes. And, yes.

[Gabz]

See, I knew your were my FRiend and onsidered me one :)

You're a sweetie!

I've been thinking about building a hurricane category 5 safe room all day.

I thought about starting a thread on FR on the subject, what do you think? Think I should? I'm tired of leaving home.

[feedback doctor]

My prediction is it will hit Galveston and move just east of Houston.

[txhurl]

So this is finally a Texas hurricane? :)

[Sam Cree]

I think it would be a good thread. If you could ping me to it, I'd be obliged. I've thought the same thing for awhile. It could be potentially expensive, but also save some gray hairs.

[CindyDawg]

I wouldn't mind a small underground shelter but then if it floods.....

[Sam Cree]

Well, I gather your sewing machine is the culprit? Hope you aren't in too much pain. OTOH, the ankle will now tell you when a hurricane is approaching.

[CindyDawg]

Ping me to it also if you do, ok? Sounds interesting.

[shield]

My prediction is it will hit Galveston and move just east of Houston.

OH BOY...

[NautiNurse]

Hopefully, you will have several weeks to come up with a good architectural plan, find materials, and build your safe room.

[Dog Gone]

Who knows what will happen, but it looks tonight as if Emilyhwill either shoot the Yucatan Channel or cross Mexico somewhere near Cozumel.

Either way it could re-emerge in the western Gulf and I have no idea what the steering patterns then might be. Anywhere from Mexico to Lousiana. We'll know far better in three or four days.

[shield]

Hope these cane threads doesn't kick FR out again. ;o)

[Sam Cree]

I understand that there is terrific current in the Yucatan Channel, makes sense that when tide moves through such a constricted area there would be rips and stuff. Lots of drugs went through there in times gone by, still do, I suppose.

[Willie Green]

PLEASE...........no HUGE graphcis!

Pleese yuse yer spel chek.

Cripes, you of all people, shood no that its speled "HUGH".

[Dog Gone]

So this is finally a Texas hurricane? :)

What everyone in Texas wants is to be on the outer fringes of a hurricane SOMEWHERE. We are in a pretty significant drought so we're all wishing for some sort of a tropical storm to bring relief and not bring destruction.

That's a tricky thing to accomplish with a hurricane, althought it's been done.

It's like knocking out the 10 pin with a curve ball.
