I’m in Richmond, just South of 99 and Westpark. I’m wondering if my neighbors and I will be buying a new fence after this.

You think it’s bad, the Netflix series from the 2010s replaced the cartoon robot maid with this robot maid

 

And were I Richie, this is what she’d look like after the first night

H-E-B in lake Jackson was not only open, but fully stocked on water, food, and cashiers. I had no wait in line. Was well run. 
 

Got a small 2100 watt generator that can keep my fridge running and one of my small minisplits going. Should be a fun night.

I think you’re failing to consider something. Storm wise, sure. But keep in mind much of the central Houston lines are still basically temporary poles and duct taped together. In Timbergrove we still have goddamn cranes and orange grounders on half the damn lines. It won’t take much to blow this shit to pieces again. Most of the trees that could get ripped up were ripped, sure. But I don’t think it will take much for widespread power issues lasting days. That’s my big fear. The derecho was mostly 70 mph winds with upper gusts at 120 lasting 20 minutes. This thing hits at 75 for prolonged hour or two? The power system will fold like a metal chair. 
 

also fuck you for your bad shitty Helobious adjacent takes over the years you jinxing fuckball.

[crimsonlonghorn 2306]

Timbergrove is where we lived when Ike hit. My son who is a HS senior this year was 1 yr old and slept though it. The relative location of our house on the power system caused us to be without power for two weeks. 
 

Please Beryl, don’t be like Ike.

I've been in Houston for every Hurricane from Alicia on and never evacuated.  I've never suffered any damage other than enduring the lack of electricity (14 days is the longest so far).  I guess by posting that, I've doomed myself this time around.

This.  Everyone, obviously, should take it seriously and be prepared, but so far this thing seems to be a fast moving TS or cat 1 hurricane when it gets to Uptown.  We had a 100+ mph severe thunderstorm several weeks ago that fucked up the power grid but we didn’t have any structural damages nor did anyone near me.  Some folks in the Heights did have serious structural damage from the wind in that storm.  I expect to lose power for some time period, but I’ll be surprised if there is widespread damage to property in most areas of Houston.

I don’t think anyone is expecting widespread property damage, are they? Really just an expectation that a shit ton of people are going to lose power for days, if not weeks. And then it’s going to be back to 100+ degrees shortly after the storm passes.

Parents new house in Palacios is ready, brand new home less than quarter mile from water. Hope the damage is minimal to that region, wife's family bayhouse in cape caranchua is gonna get pelted

A friend of mine has a house in Palacios and his mom lives.  He went today to go get his mom and bring her to their home in Long Mott.   So, still pretty close to the track, but better.

Yeah. I expect this, and maybe some severe flooding in spots because there’s been a lot of rain here lately, including last night and today.

Looks like for Austin to get significant rain, the hurricane needs to make landfall further south near Seadrift/Victoria.

From my recollection of past storms and reading up on some of the historic weather events in the state.  Most of the serious flood events in Central Texas and the Hill Country comimg from landfalling storms usually enter Texas around Corpus and even down south to the border.   They hit and usually go North to Northwest .  One of the models a few weeks ago that is favored by the forecasters had this thing hitting south of Corpus and going right up I-37 to San Antonio which would’ve dumped a lot of rain in the Hii Country watersheds.    Sucks a part of the state that is going to get this rain really doesn’t need it and the runoff goes straight to the Gulf.

JFC...all the Stripes on N Padre are closed and boarded up.  Almost all the businesses are closed now.

I'm sitting at Hard Knocks (which is still going to puss out and close at 8:00) with half the locals drinking some Shiner because the hurricapocalypse is going to hit land about 100 miles up the coast from us.

Silver lining, though, I get to work remote tomorrow so shorts and flip flops it is.

Dos X dressed I believe.

But I think the weak ones are bunkered up in their homes right now, they probably drink White Claw.

I shall work on my word construction much betterer next time.

[Hate 20046]

We were at Lake Buchanan this weekend so we stopped at the HEB in Burnet to get some supplies in case we are without power for a day or two. The Woodlands is expected to do in the worst quadrant when the eye passes by.  It should be an interesting morning.

Austin Hurricane Preparedness

Hurricane Beryl is expected to make landfall on the Texas coast on Monday, July 8.

Pedernales Electric Cooperative has been closely monitoring the situation and making preparations. We are sharing this information so you can also be prepared for the storm's potential impacts.Although, Austin is expected to have less than 0.2 inches of rain, wind gusts up to 60MPH are possible. Dust and refuge storms are likely making driving conditions hazardous. Further such storms increase the likelihood of power outages for days or even weeks.

Customers whose electricity is delivered by Pedernales Electric Cooperative are encouraged to sign up for Power Alert Service® to receive timely updates about outages, estimated restoration times and community-wide updates during severe weather. Please note that we cannot guarantee uninterrupted power during severe weather. It is common for complete outages and rolling blackouts for weeks following a weather event.

Prepare for the storm:

Emergency plan: Develop a plan to keep your family safe. If you rely on electricity for life-sustaining equipment, please have a backup plan in place to ensure your safety.

Hurricane kit: Include non-perishable food, water, flashlights, batteries, first aid supplies, necessary medications, a battery-powered radio, and a portable charger for mobile devices.

Remember there are usually shortages of toilet paper, water, and canned goods in the days preceding a weather event. Please be sure to stock up on these items early before supplies become limited.

Similarly, expect gas shortages and price hikes in the aftermath of the storm. Please be sure to fill up your vehicles and gasoline cans as early as possible.

Stay informed:

Outage information: We will provide general electric outage updates every 15 minutes at Pedernales Electric Cooperative

Power Alerts: Power Alert Service® provides details for outage details, estimated restoration times, and community-wide updates. Following sign-up, the resulting charges for this service should appear in the next billing cycle.

Safety first:

Electric:

• Keep freezers and refrigerators closed during outages to preserve food.

• Use portable generators only in well-ventilated areas to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Never connect a generator directly to your home’s electrical system.

Stay connected: Follow us on X (formerly Twitter) for real-time updates and visit our Storrn Center for more information.

It's decent.  It's sports bar food.  You won't write home about it but it hits the spot most times.  And you won't bitch because you didn't get enough food.

Food is good priced, beers are high compared the other places on the island (Boathouse is pretty cheap).

I'm a regular so it's my spot anyways.
