Hey there! I been fightin’ tonight. (The guy who plays my husband out at Renfest and I have a kick-ass throwdown that gets rehearsed a few times a week.)
So what are the quick and dirty odds that a) my hubby here in Houston will see some action from this storm, and b) I and my Spaniards will see some in Plantersville?
hi NN,looks like this one is going to be a bad one...
Easy answer.............All the above!!!!!
Girlfriend in Baytown just got a recorded call for a voluntary evacuation in zip code 77520.
the question is.....will models trend north of Houston? The movement seems to be more north than west.
NW La. could still be in play here if it does not make the turn. It may have though.....sats are really hard to determine motion of course.

11pm track shifts closer to Houston/Galveston
I am glad to know people are being asked/told to get OUT of the way of IKE.
We (all of us who watch these Hurricanes thanks to NN FR threads) do NOT LIKE IKE!
Go away Ike - way away.
Praying for and hurting (in advance) for any in the path of IKE.
Yes, and the track shift closer to Galveston and Houston is ominous.
bump to follow
a lot closer...
funny thing is, I am watching the easternuswx forum simultaneously with this.
The fact that Jim Cantore is now reporting from Galveston is surely a concern for those on the island. His comments over the past two days, though, are an even greater worry IMHO. He has referred to Ike’s potential size and behavior as Katrina-like.
The winds aren’t up there yet, of course, but that pressure reading is now consistent with a Cat 4 storm.
Ike may be a lot more than a thunderstorm if it gets here -- get ready
Not under a manitory evacuation order yet. Traffic out of Houston in a Hurricane is hell. I will probably ride Ike out.
so they can blame bush for people not leaving....
I am lucky; I am a reporter for the Freedom chain of newspapers, libertarian in bent......small l.
Most of my co-workers are conservatives. But, most papers are not that way. I firmly believe though they would not admit it and it may be subconscious for many, they would wait to talk about this much purely for political reasons.
They probably also feel burned by Gustav.
About an hour ago during an interview, Jeff Masters described that the data were being loaded into the computers, and the model runs would be ready about 2AM-3AM.
Maybe I was really on to something with the hamsters...
;o)
Gulp!
Seriously? We might get some on the far side of Tomball? Dammit! They can’t cancel rehearsal ... my group NEEDS it! :)
Truth be told, they have canceled rehearsal twice since I got there ... once in 2002, when some storm or other came in and nearly wiped FM 1774 off the map, and then in 2005 when Rita was gonna hit, but frankly I didn’t pay much attention to Rita ‘cause I’d gotten married the weekend before.
Well, this is just lovely.
My mother-and-father-in-law are in San Jacinto County. They’re about an hour north of Houston, and from what I see of the track, when he comes ashore, they’re in the bullseye to the NE of Ike’s path
Oh, crap.
I’m just a bit worried because my father-in-law isn’t 100% health-wise. Thankfully, they have my mom’s realtives nearby with sturdy housing. They got some damage from Rita, and this one’s coming even closer, if he holds his current track.
