Tropical Storm / Hurricane Harvey

[kimrose]

Channel 2, I forgot the weatherman's name. Then he predicted 30-40+

Hmmm. I wonder if it was Frank Billingsley. He's the only weather man I know over there, I usually watch 13. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that much, except for them pulling us out of the worst case rain scenario now. I hope they didn't do that prematurely.

Oh my gosh, RGV! What weatherman was this and channel?? Lane's got it on the filthy eagles game, so I can't stay up to the minute anymore, unless I want to live in the bedroom tonight, which I don't. lol. I did just run back there to see the new update on weather channel, and it's still at 85mph, but it is now going NW and not NNW. They also took us here in Brazoria County out of the worst rain total area!

Yes, I did hear this. Luckily we are not on the coast. But our town has been phoning in updates for everyone twice a day, and the one we got at 6pm said that when the winds reach over 40mph, no emergency services will be operating and will not come to help, but the hospital will remain open. That is kind of scary and final sounding. Like a door being slammed in your face. Gulp!

ambulances and fire trucks are tall boxy vehicles. Add the wet conditions to 40+ mph winds and there you have it.

It's so funny, Dexter, even though it wasn't that strong yesterday, I was still terrified! lol. I can't explain it, but I knew since Monday this was gonna be a bad one. Crazy. I'm crazy.

Yes, I can see that. Thanks for the insight. Didn't think of that, but you are right I do believe.

cows swim?

Up here is Kansas they can do more than that.



But that is for another thread.

Well if it's going 70 miles or so north of Corpus for it's landfall, it's gonna have to make a REAL SHARP turn to the North soon....

 

[Tabascocat]

Latest update: 100 mph winds, a cat 2. It is still headed towards Corpus, slightly North a bit. The pressure dropped some more which means intensifying.
