Getting hammered now and more later....just starting for Galveston to Central LA area. 8-24 more hours before any real info is known.
1 hour ago they were showing a dairy queen coming part bit by bit in Port Aurthur and that was probably just 50-60 mph winds..TWC crew moved from Port Aurthur down to Gavelston..they're going to get very high winds there soon.
Isn't it? That smell isn't something I'm likely to forget, ever.
Did he say that?
Oh, Shep thinks if he FALLS he will look like a fool. Meanwhile, he's watching for a large metal sign to blow away. He keeps asking his cameraman to watch the sign. I kind of am happy, because if it flies off and decapitates him I don't want to see it.
"120 MPH winds for next 2 hours - GIANT TORNADO IN EFFECT!!!"
A Cat-3, F-2 tornado!
You're speaking as if it's all over. Port Arthur is in the thick of it right now. We'll see. Way too early to tell for sure.
I got the KPLC feed up now.
Thank you. They are ex-in-laws but still worry for them.
One you should have kept to yourself.
There are people reading this thread for hope and information, not to see you unburden yourself.
Actually if he keeps this up your name is going to be very appropiate for him
Wonder how that building with the face on it is doing in Galveston? Anyone ever seen it? Seems an old guy wouldn't sell his property to UT but after he died, UT nursing dept. somehow got it. Anyway, a stucco-like sided building was built on the property and his face can be seen on the wall at night. After too much hoppla over it, they sandblasted and re-stuccoed that portion, but heeeee's baaaack! He'll probably be back after Rita too. Woooo, really creepy. Sort of looks like that shadow image of presidents on dollar bills.
I kinda pictured the Entergy sign slicing him in two.
The area affected was West of Kaplan (and a little North).
The city of Crowley is probably the largest nearby city on the East side of the area (but not part of the warning), and Jennings on the West side of the area (the storm cell probably went to the South of Jennings, but only by a few miles...)
For those who know Louisiana Geography...
At least one of the buildings was engulfed by flames whipped higher by strong winds from Hurricane Rita. A fallen electric pole was lying on one of the buildings and was burning.
One of the buildings that caught fire was built in 1905, just after the hurricane that destroyed most of Galveston and killed at least 6,000people.

Maybe the new admin hasn't seen the guns......
FOX News reporter:
Yes! Sean said he'd been watching Shep all night, and asked if he let go of the pole was he afraid he'd blow away. Shep starting detailing the strong gusts, and you could fall on your face and look like a fool. LOL
Thank you---- I appreciate that you said that...because I don't want to get a "reputation"..
