The head weather gal at WOAI TV Ch.4 here in San Antonio just broke in with an update.

WOAI has a reporter on the recon. plane and she just got a text message saying that all of the "hurricane hunters" up there right now are "absolutely STUNNED" at the intensity of this storm. Winds at 10,000 ft. are over 200 mph.

TO ALL EVACS. COMING TO SAN ANTONIO-

Go to McCreless Mall at I-37 and E. Southcross Rd. to our "Shelter Hub" to get directions and everything you need on which shelters are open and which ones are already full.

GO TO McCreless Mall FIRST. It is the City's STAGING AREA for everyone coming to San Antonio.

I did not say I was hoping it would go to NOLA. I said I was wondering what it would do and would it be less damage overall since everything there is already damaged and the people are evacuated. I also said I was ignorant of what it would actually do if that is to occur.

At least I am not so stupid as to not know I'm stupid. :)

"90 miles is about right for tomball, she should be ok except for the threat of tornados. We are 70 miles inland and we are staying, got our generator today."

Thanks and good luck. I know how nerve wracking the waiting can be with one of these boogers bearing down on you. Get some good sleep now while you have AC.

Get lots of CASH.

And get it in small bills. I heard that after one hurricane vendors who were selling ice were cleaning up because they didn't or wouldn't make change, and people ended up paying 20$ a bag because they didn't have anything smaller.

Call me crazy, but I can just picture an old Texan standing on his porch, chewing tobacco in his mouth looking at the storm approaching, and saying in a low grumble, "So yer what all the noise is 'bout? All right old girl, show me what ya got." *Spit tobacco towards storm* "Ain't you heard? This is Texas. We take don't take no guff from no storm."

Latest from the GFDL model. This -- if it happens -- would be the worst case scenario for Galveston/Houston.

They just seem slow because we're quite responsive and fast. That's why they are the old media, and we are the new media.

She said that Tomball was 90 miles inland, I don't think it's that far inland. Anyone else have an opinion?

I'd call it 50 miles to Baytown on the bay; perhaps 75 miles or so to the Gulf at Galveston Island. She's shading things a bit.

They were the same way with Katrina. And lots of folks in Ms/La died because of it.
