Thursday is my daughters move in day at Corpus Christi A & M.
Hell, they are right across the road from the bay. I thought it might be a cold day in Hell for a Cougar Highs guys daughter to go to a A & M system school but looks like a wet day in South Texas. |

I was working late in a cotton gin last night and my mind is kind of fried. The prospect of two or three weeks of sixteen hour days scares me a little.

My 21 year old daughter lives in CC. Wife is on the road working and is going to swing by, get daughter and the dog, and head back to Ft Worth. Daughter is going to drive her brand new car. She lives on the third floor so flooding is not a concern for us, just the car. Un-assing the area seems like a prudent move. |

I'm in corpus near the Malls. We're gonna hunker down. Flooding will be our biggest issue, specially if Harvey stalls once it makes landfall. Wife was at HEB at Moore Plaza at 6am loading up for the long haul. FYI, the Isles were plentiful at that location..

Yesterday they seem to make a big deal about the 1 million people that are new to texas since 2008 and havent been thru one of these yet. Then at 10pm it was 1.8 million. At noon today it was 3 million.
Anyone else notice this in the weather talk? Never has the amount of new people in the state been brought up or the numbers just growing on there own. Looking for 10million on the nightly news. |

The frightening part being, we haven'd had a major hurricane hit the US in 12 years. 2005 was before 2008, so there are a bunch of people who have no historical frame of reference for what to expect. They're the geniuses who are planning to hunker down and have a hurricane party on the barrier islands. There are a butt-load of them...and a lot will die. |

There are a couple members posting in the GD thread that are going to get people killed if they follow the advice. pc, I don't know if you heard it, but after Katrina, in Waveland, people were saying "Camille killed a lot of people during this storm". They meant that most people knew Camille was a Cat 5 and since Katrina wasn't, they would ride it out. Every storm is different, but going by just the recon numbers, I'd be bailing out of anywhere close to the Gulf or a bay or tributary that feeds into the Gulf. |

Yep. I was in Baton Rouge for Katrina and Gustav. I moved to Houston area 2 years ago. I'm realizing a lot of folks over here don't take these things very serious. I had many family members in New Orleans and Mississippi. New Orleans is a fishbowl with a ton of canals that had levee failure.
Texas coastline isn't anything like Louisiana but it still has drainage issues and a lot of rivers and lakes. You don't realize how quick the water or tidal surge can rise till it's too late. I'm in Katy and if we get the rainfall they say, it could be reason to evacuate. I'm a little too close to the Addicks reservoir for comfort. Stay safe and don't take any chances. |
