Nite tcrlaf...sleep well.
Pray pray PRAY for our fellow Americans!
I saw this once in a movie (Vacation). I think you just wrap her up in a blanket and strap her down to the roof rack.
Yes...I have actually been there three times...and twice there was creek flooding! My buddy is hunkered down there...he owns a large apparel business and house there.

Don't read too much into that perceived difference; it's actually the same position. The advisory just rounded less precisely than the Vortex. Down to hundredths of a degree, the Vortex translates to 26.38N 90.55W (rounded to tenths like the advisory, it's 26.4N 90.6W, which is the advisory).
That it for me, racktime.
(Note to nightshift: If I wake up tomorrow and find you've let that sucker slide back southwest, I'm siccing Dan Rather onya.)
also, there is road construction there....so there are only a couple lanes...that is why the traffic looks so bad.
Cool!
All those things were done. Gas arrived at stations throughout the day. Contraflow was done as soon as it was SAFE to do so. Maybe you should talk about something you know something about and leave the movement of 3+ million people to those who are doing it. 3 million people moved out (and will get out fine) with only reported death so far.
Try contacting the folks south of I-20 out towards Brownwood and San Angelo too. They may be able to help you. And (in spite of my joke) some of the roads up towards San Angelo from I-10 were good years ago when I traveled them.
LOL, You are correct, I was born in NY, Did not know Texians looked to government to save them, happy I learned in NY, to look after myself. Even after 30 years in Texas I still do that. Plus (surprise, surprise) I know a number of Texians that do that too.
Your welcome. For the mathematically inclined the conversion ratio is about 1.152, i. e., 1 knot = 1.152 miles per hour.
Good night Jeffers and tcrlaf. My brain's now total mush (I had to resort to a calculator to do a minutes to decimals of a degree conversion), so it's way past time I hit the switch. This thing ain't going southwest, not while it's in the Gulf.
Have him pull off and get some rest. Tankers are making the rounds and he'll get better mileage in about six hours when the jams clear completely and the gas stations are reloaded.
ExxonMobil is sending a convoy with a quarter million gallons from Dallas to reload gas stations along the route.
I watched the satellite loop on NOAA just now. To say the least, it was bemusing. I'm not sure if they have the feed messed up or what. It looked like she jogged west, southeast, and then north quite a ways.
I know...the rounding errors did have the advisory plots NE of the Vortex plots for the last few iterations though...was hoping for even more of a rightward.....hook.
;-)
Have a good one. Seeya tomorrow.
and the next day and...
I saw on TWT an interview of a grandaughter and her grandmother she removed from a nursing home sitting on I-45. The grandmother said she feels that she is going to die. Surely this isn't the same person. :/ Odds are doubtful, but I keep wondering since I heard that report.
See post 1460.
Zentner's is on Sherwood Way, Zentner's Daughter is on Knickerbocker.
