I don't know why, but I'm getting a double image at that link. It's kind of cool because I can see the previous and the current computer models. They have most definately moved north.
big north jump the past hr...
Miztiki, wet tobacco will take care of the stinging.
I hope the folks on South Padre are leaving now. It's not a big town and they have time if they leave tonight.
Surprisingly the models are running so close together that it's hard to pick them out.
Exactly S. Padre folks should get ready to book it.
The local news has been saying SPI would be evacuating. I think there was a 5pm deadline for today. After the deadline, no one gets on the island without a permit. They've issued permits for any island resident that wants them.
Huh. Are they or not? We are getting mixed info. I was telling my son and husband (who is putting up the shutters) that Emily jogging more north. My son checked the NWS and came back and told me the path hadn't changed.
That was the lastest I could find from channel 5s stotm warning.
keep in mind we are ahead of any info out there..even their local NWS..which takes a few hours to look over the data we are discussing "live" here
Something like that sounds kinda nice right now.....have a peek at my profile page, which gives the current temp.
At least there's no humidity today!
I didn't say it wouldn't restrengthen... I was saying that it will likely be in a much weakened state if it spends a lot of time over the Yucatan.
32 foot waves now. They said on the weather channel that the Hilton on Cancun isn't affected unless they have 30 foot waves and they are using their ballroom as an evacuation center.
Yep, the models are tightening up. If you think it's hard to read on your screen, imagine viewing it with double blurred vision. Maybe it's time for me to run scan disk and defrag.
I've continued to go with S. TX all along, but I'm not so sure anymore... Most things have trended how I thuoght they would though. It'll be close. ;-)
I'm also wondering if the eye is going to skirt the edge of Yucatan and not actually hit land. At the very least it's going to be close
IF the eye misses the tip of the peninsula will she still weaken with some of her mass over land or strengthen more as the warm waters of the gulf kick in???
Darn it, I missed the local report on SPI due to a phone call. Maybe they delayed the evac of SPI.
Nothing mSM is that reliable. I find out much more and faster about everything here on FR than I have EVER found out on TV.
If it hits N Mexico it could be the best run of bull redfish through San Luis Pass TX since Gilbert did his thing in 88. We caught and caught and caught those brutes as that one approached. The weather was beautiful but the sea levels rose about 4-5 ft gently innundating Treasure Island with knee deep water. The reds instinctively go bonkers when this happens because their eggs get pushed up the pass into the (newly created) marshes where they stay attached to submerged vegetation until they hatch. It was an epic time along the upper TX coast.
Mexico please keep the wind. We'll take a little water.
