Most people will... I'm sure. But, from what I'm hearing.. they are being really slow this time to prepare. Many schools are still in session. My sister is still working today at the Dental School.
After the traffic disaster that was Rita... I think, many are deciding to stay home. For most people, that's probably a good idea. But, for people in range of the surge.... well... have a good look at Biloxi on Google.
Currently, my cousin is in Gulf Shores taking pictures of some monster waves.
...and, a song in my heart when they're coming to help me. (We treat them well too)
Mandantory evac just issued for ALL of Galveston Island.
I just took pictures of every room in the house. My washer just quit... won’t spin or agitate. We’re emptying the water to see if something is stuck where it shouldn’t be.
My Dad lives in East Texas (Quitman, about halfway
between Sulphur Springs and Tyler ... ~30 miles north
of Tyler).
Looks like it is projected to go right over him now.
But hopefully it will be a wimp by that time.
I know when Hurricane Goose-Step (Gustav) went by
us here in D/FW, we got some pretty good winds (about
40-45 mph), but no rain cuz it passed well east of us.
See...they’re starting to move...:’)
I’m south of 10 also, in Katy.
OH NO! My favorite quilt shop is in Quitman, Texas.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooooooooooooo.
I’m sure a hurricane could do great things for me.
Should the current track hold, a direct hit on Freeport, my house is about 65 miles due north of the impact area.
What should we expect as far as wind speed assuming a cat 3 at landfall?
Anyone with more hurricane experience have an idea?
lonestar, I think that putting our location in our tagline is a great idea.
it was in my inbox this am I’m not sure but there is sure a lot there
Well, I live on the Alabama coast, on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay and Katrina was rough. Ivan's eye passed right over us and there were times when Katrina felt very much like Ivan, just for a much shorter time period. Ivan we lost power for just a few hours..Katrina for several days.
Right now the AL/MS coast is experiencing flooding from Ike being 350 miles to our south, if that helps.
