TXCN: Showing footage of I-45 North at Spring Steubner now EMPTY! except for a few disabled and abandoned cars that do NOT appear to have anyone in them.
Knock it OFF
If people are looking to dry out, Odessa is about the driest place in Texas. My house is about 15 miles from sand dunes, literally.
Yeah right!
I remember going to Zenter's Daughter but not Zenters. Actually, I think I'm lucky I remember anything :-)
I was there in '84.
"Big storm,Are you safe ."
Yea, I think so. I will be riding it out at my job. It should be ok.
I meant to ask if evacuees can find gas and places to stay west of Fort Worth on I-20? Getting sleepy.
Since it is well-known in the ag community that things like soybean rust spores can travel from the South to the Midwest via hurricanes....I don't think you are crazy at all.
When there is a major forest fire in the west; we get the "smog" and poor air alerts here in Iowa. Isn't it amazing how the small particles stay way "up there" for so long?
" but most folks consider that overreacting".
Well, maybe most folks in Massachuschetts or jersey.
Here in Texas, if a person tresspasses after dark, no intent must be proven by the property owner that shoots them. We even allow the county coroner to retrieve the carcass. Overreacting is when ya' run 'em through the whisperchipper, and bait yer catfish hole. That is just wrong. If ya caint noodle or flag your catfish without cut bait, ya be a sissy.
I was reading some blogs on the Houston Chronicle site....one person said every other house in Spring is staying....
Still, with such a statute, I'll bet there is a very low incidence of TEEPEEing. I'll bet a bb gun would be just fine.
In any event, it appears more likely than not that Houston has missed the bullet, and it instead is going for the oil refineries. It may well be that California will soon have the cheapest gas in the nation, since it must use only local refineries, due to the unique blend it uses, and this is an autarkic gas market in that sense.
As far as the big picture is concerned, that's a confusing one. The max wind speed went up significantly, but so did the pressure. The NHC didn't change their estimate on the wind intensity, so I'd have to go along with them that they balance each other out.
Really? I guess the people there in Spring feel safe. I hope they are!
They already have gotten millions out....I think the roads will all be clear tomorrow morning....
Zentners was downtown on one of the main east-west streets. I think they were really father and daughter who had a falling out.
Heh.
That's 3,288.15 feet off the 2300 track.
To the NORTHEAST.
If it was a hurricane center plot, it'd be almost 4 miles NE of the 1700 plot.
Wobble or not, that is good news for Houston and Galveston.
