I’m not in Orange, I’m in the orange color for the storm surge. I’m in Deer Park.
I don't know about Fox.....but if Ike can rid us of Whoraldo, I say "Go Ike....and take Whoraldo with you!"
Got a very bad feeling about this one. That is a great link btw.
Ike is going to wash all sorts of snakes and critters up.
He said he was making a decision at 8AM.Check at the end of thread 2.I hope he left.BBL
“Unfortunately, he drags cameramen along, and they don’t need that.”
During Gustav, did you hear him tell the cameraman, repeatedly, to climb onto a wall over which the water was crashing?
The cameraman was smarter than Geraldo and never did it.
Hee-hee.
My son goes to school in Lake Charles and he has gone to Lafayette to get away from the storm. Can anyone tell me if that is far enough away to be safe? From the information I see so far I cannot tell since I do not live anywhere near this area. TIA
Houston 11 News
22 stranded on freighter south of Houston (abt 90 miles). Coast Guard says they will not attempt rescue, as conditions are too dangerous. Freighter is in probable path of Ike.
that was his last FR post... I checked ten minutes ago
he’s bugging out, i would bet.
She’s the BEST! I’m sure we’ll be fine. I’ve just completed my 4th week of retirement and this is no time to check out :-)
Current conditions - cloudy and a very light breeze. The slightly cooler temps are very nice!!
Hi neighbor.. We’ve got food/water, propane/charcoal for about 3 days, I’ve got 3 vehicles, all topped up... and I’ve got a ac/dc converter in my truck that can power a small appliance if necessary. However, if we’re not back in business after 3-days, we’re out of here.
I worry about Texas City behind the levees and lose ships in the bay. Nightmare scenario.
Dang! That’s not good at all.
29’?? Well.... you’re probably safe then.. but, you may (literally) have refrigerators and sinks washed up near your driveway. :-)
I haven’t stated this on here before.. But, I am actually living in Louisville, Ky now... so, I will only get WET (in a few days).
However, I spent the first 42 years of my life living on the coast... Angleton, Texas is “home”... but, I’ve lived in Friendswood, Texas City, and Sulphur, La. I still have plenty of family and friends down there.. and, I come to the area ~ 2 times a month for business.
My heart has never left Texas.. or Angleton.
we had the mother of all sand storms yesterday here in Phoenix........a wall of dirt 35 miles long and 2500 ft high rolled thru at 30 mph
yes... Lafayette will be better than Lake Charles... Much higher... and less wind.
Water already crashing over the seawall in Galveston. WOW!!
The overall “best model” is reputed to be GFDL - right now, the animation has Ike getting almost up to Cat.2 in the Great Lakes, and Cat.4 now. Fortunately NHC ignores it and has forecasters who can think.

I wish I could shove this down the throat of everyone who bases everything about “climate change” “global warming” being “settled science” when that is completely based on computer models.
During Gustav, did you hear him tell the cameraman, repeatedly, to climb onto a wall over which the water was crashing?
The cameraman was smarter than Geraldo and never did it.
And his freaking out about the corps of engineer guy swimming, Whorealdo is dangerous, seriously, a Darwin award candidate.
He should be very safe in Lafayette. If the storm were to go in as far east as Port Arthur/Sabine River, he’d still be fine. Lafayette is about 65-70 miles east of Lake Charles.
