Summary in two words - Oh <expletive deleted>
Daingerfield State Park is very nice. Very pretty lake with cabins. It's off the beaten path.
Thanks for the info..I have Uncle/Aunt cousins and friends in Houston...I will pray for your folks that are staying ;0
the wind mearsurent is almost 1.5 hours old now...it doesn't have the updated wind info i posted yet
In my area we have lots of stables. Just a little short on wise men. :^)
The mb is what actually dictates the wind speed- the lower the mb reading- the higher the wind speed.
923 - Great Scott!
I've seen some posts about what a max would be for this storm. The short answer is we don't know and very well may be in uncharted territory when it comes to Rita. For those that are praying folks, get to it. There's a lot of people that need them.
Gilbert was 888mb bu a CAT3 at landfall I think. It was massive!!
You need to leave. Do not worry about having to write on your children. Just go. I was a managing director with a large telecom company, and the Family Medical Leave Act thing works. Get a FMLA request form, fill it out, and drop it off to HR on your way out.
Where are you getting this info at?
If it rode along the coast that would really be bad wouldnt it?

Just damn. Another mb drop in 14 minutes.
The data are accurate. It is a members only site.
We will find out for sure in 20 minutes..
When we had hurricane Floyd off the coast of Fl. a couple of yrs. back and went out of state to find a room people were packed in Ga. and told us to go to Alabama. By luck we walked into a motel lobby in Ga. and they had one room left that a guy in front of us did not want. All the people outside were laying down on the roofs of their cars waiting for a vacancy.
923mb @ 1:36pm
Not good. Not good at all.

A titan home could probably survive an F-5 Tornado... However, I bet its expensive..
