----Man, this lady on CH6 telling people 180mph ground winds are coming for their houses...----
That's a 5 if I'm not mistaken.

maybe it's what is needed to wake people up so they get out
put some fear in 'em
The other lady at the desk looks like a member of the Addams Family.
And buildings will channel it to higher winds, for awhile.
That is her! she told the other two that their houses would be blown over by 180mph force ground winds...
she sounds like she is on valiums.
Houston is helped slightly by the fact that it's about 40-50 miles away from the coast (which usually takes 30-40 mph off of a hurricane's bite, having gone through Alicia (1983) I can attest to that), though the flatness of the terrain often causes flooding problems (Allison 2001).
I wonder if they've revised the sea level for Houston since I was in school several decades ago. Back then they taught us Houston was 6-10 feet below sea level.
I moved from Houston in '81 so missed Alicia. I was 9 when Carla came through and even though Houston didn't bare the brunt, I remember the high winds and rain. We lived off of San Felipe, Voss and Woodway in SW part of town. The last lot on our street was under construction and all of the neighbors took pictures of the unsecured lumber left by the construction people in case claims needed to be filed. Thankfully the lumber didn't cause any problems and we only lost a tree in the front yard.
No my friend thats the sound of someone who knows what's coming and is rightly scared...
they seem to be back tracking on the mandatory evac on TWC.
now saying the mayor may order it in the morning,
perhaps these are segments recorded before the evac order was given?
has it been confirmed by any other source than TWC?
I see it as well & to be honest it scares the you know what outta me...
From what I read, they have a staggered evacuation now.....low lying areas today, then NO, then outer areas....
the last time everyone left at once and jammed the highways...
someone probably called TWC and told them to pipe down
Not that I have seen & I've been watching channel 6 in NO for a few hours now...

Nothing about the evac order on the city website:
