Why slow-moving tropical storms and hurricanes are the worst:

[NautiNurse]

Wow—that storm is percolating up to a full boil.

[NautiNurse]

Slowly raking up against the entire TX Gulf Coast, over Galveston Bay August 29 at 951mb!

Looks like a wicked brew.

Just had a thought. The ANTIFA types will be whining en mass this weekend when Hurricane media coverage eclipses that of their protests.

Interesting shots of how Harvey has developed rather than just graphs and such as is usual....there we saw how it actually ‘collects’ and moves itself.

[Jane Long]

We’re not too far from you.

Are you staying put, in Houston home? Evacuating to higher ground West/North?

[caww]

'Wicked Brew" this way comes!

For some reason I have had my head in the sand. Just said to hubby “ I guess there is a hurricane approaching Texas”... his response “ Of course there is”!!!!

... duh.. where have I been.
When is landfall supposed to take place?

[Jane Long]

Be safe. We’re staying put...AFAIK.

Keep us posted on road conditions, if you can.

Jane are you in the line of fire for this Hurricane?

[Jane Long]

We are just outside of Houston, on the west side.

[caww]

Could happen...at this point anything can occur once it draws close to land or otherwise.

[caww]

Oh No....are you ready for this to hit? Because it’s undoubtedly going to...

It’s 4:43 est and just saw the storm images on fox. I was at weather.com lookin at the radar and the rain on the radar looks very very different than on fox.

Take Care and I’ll be prayin’ for y’all.

[magna carta]

I will-it is not certain if we leave yet-husband still at work

[Jane Long]

Yes, as ready as possible. Cars are topped off w/gas.

Stocked up on extra provisions, basic meds, batteries, dog food, etc.

We have a generator.

We have wine :-)
