Mandatory or they won’t evacuate.
Bad move by mayor.
Help! Can anyone tell me what this typically means for Austin?
Heads up. I am always concerned about these storms because my family members live in Houston, Galveston and Lake Charles, LA. Our biggest problems here in the Blacks Hill are blizzards and forest fires.
I pray for everyone’s safety down there.
Always wanted to live in Galveston. Maybe not so much now.
From another article I read. I suspect the Cat 3 will come into
play with a lot of people getting inland a 100 miles or so.

Weather officials expect Harvey to become a category 3 hurricane
before landfall. Category 3 hurricanes boast winds of 111 to 129 mph.
It’s expected the storm will arrive on the Texas coast Friday night.
Prayers for those in the ‘cone’. I know the feeling having lived thru many bad hurricanes here on the OBX of NC.
The Weather Service correctly predicted Katrina five days before and the morons did not leave. I think it was Bush’s fault and he hated black people or something.
These areas will become a looter’s paradise.
Finally, when most everyone realized how big a hoax the global warming claims were, here comes the first hurricane in years.
Poor libs. They just can’t catch a break these days.
advice for stay-behinds.......
take two old credit cards,
and put one in each shoe.
might be helpful later on
I hope Cantoree gets hurt just enough so that pompous ass has to retire
So far, Coldplay hasn't canceled.
Wouldn't the strongest possible term be "mandatory?"

Liberals just waiting. Hoping they can get Trump on this, like they got Bush. I hate you f*cking liberals!
Strongest storm to hit the Coastal Bend since Celia in 1970. Rode that one out on the Navy base.
Not chancing this one. Headed to northern Arkansas.
Implement contraflow on interstate highways heading inland now or face a parking lot hundreds of miles long. It may be a bit hysterical, but it may not be. It’s been some time since a big storm has hit down there, hasn’t it? Is all new development built to hurricane code on raised pier foundations? If not and you’re anywhere near overwash or flooding from canals, creeks and such, better start making preparations whether your’e staying or going. Vehicles, get them to high ground or even build raised temporary ramps that are sheltered from the wind, that’s what they do on the Outer Banks. Some just drive the front of their trucks up on the porch, or have extra wide french doors with reinforced floors and drive them into their living rooms. Anything heavy that can be blown into the house, secure it. Water, fill your tubs and sinks. Power will likely be out for a while, miserable in summer. Food, got any in the house? Enough to carry you for a few weeks, that won’t spoil? This is where prepping makes a lot of sense whether or not the economic apocalypse ever occurs, major storms. Too late now if you haven’t done it, better head inland with the rest of the herd.
I still remember the old San Jacinto Inn (near the battleship Texas in Houston) which had high water marks from past hurricanes marked on a pillar out front. Long gone now.
Is that word Harvey White name or black name ?
Having spent a month in Corpus Christi one day, I think it might be useful for some of those ugly buildings downtown to come down and be replaced with something with a bit more charm.
“not implemented mandatory evacuations, but Mayor Joe McComb called for people to leave in the “strongest possible terms”
Strange. I would’a called “mandatory” the “strongest possible...
