CNN had a reporter interviewing Gen. Honore this morning. "How do you FEEL about another storm coming so soon after Katrina?" Gen. Honore said "IT IS NOT A MATTER OF HOW YOU FEEL. IT IS A MATTER OF GETTING YOUR BRAIN IN GEAR. WE HAVE A PLAN."
Good...it's the truth, got mine locked and loaded. I'm here in the Houston Heights inside loop 610...getting ready should the cane come our way.
I still have plenty of time to get out, I am watching the track very closely. Matagorta bay and south, I am OK, north of M Bay I'm outta here.
I really have to thank CNN for reminding me why Gen. Honore is a good guy.
What time did they call her a 4?
gotta run a do stuff, catch ya later.
I'm not a meteorologist, just someone who has a hurricane hobby, but I still don't think she looks like an annular hurricane. The annular hurricanes that I have looked at look more like buzzsaw blades. Give her a couple more hours and perhaps her outflow bands will balance out to give us a better look. One thing that is sort of creepy is that I haven't heard of an eyewall replacement cycle for a while. That certainly isn't a good sign (as annular hurricanes don't need to replace their eyewalls).
"IT IS NOT A MATTER OF HOW YOU FEEL" Gotta love that man.
Don't forget Babineaux-Blanco.
You can bet they will go where they know can get good video of dead bodies. Kind of like vultures.
That is a man with his head screwed on tight.
Exactly.
And we can't leave out the Left Coast!
Hurricanes Chakra, Moonshine, Echo, and Sesame deserve their equal time, too.
Did you see the cloud tops boiling in the upper right corner of the animation you linked?
GOD, I love soldiers:)
Yup. Looting will be at worst a sporadic issue and not on any significant scale.
Why? Because we Texans have lots of guns and everyone knows that it's automatically looter season after a disaster. There's no permit or license required to bag looters, and there's no bag limit.

it's also good because it doesn't expand its windfield. It'd be more like Andrew or Camille than Katrina.
IANAM
Kind of like the Monte Python sketch about the giant hedgehog: Dimsdale! Dimmsssdaaale!
During the last big hurricane that came through Houston in the 80's many private plane owners moved their flying stock to Dallas. When the remnants of the storm reached Dallas, it kicked up a set of twisters that trashed a lot of those planes.
Then they won't be coming to Texas. I suspect that when the hurricane comes ashore, nobody will be anywhere nearby.
Need a hurricane Thibault!
