2024 Hurricane Season thread of DOOM

Recommended Posts

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. 
 

Rain just kicked up about 10pm. Not very windy yet

3putt work for those guys?

3putt is in Houston so I don't think so.

PEC used to be one of my favorite clients when I was running a grid security consultantancy.

Their contract negotiation method was literally, "Don't worry about a limit, just tell us what it will cost and we'll take care of it."

Appreciate all the updates. Pissed it did not get the lakes or Central Texas, but hope all you assholes who are in the path stay safe and have blue sheds.

 

 

I just wanted upper temps in the 80's and lots of rain. All these fuckers in SE and East Texas are hogging all the rain.

I’m not far from you here in Iowa Colony. I should have went to that HEB yesterday instead of the new one in Manvel. What a shit show.

Maybe it's just me but it seems like the accuracy of modeling for hurricanes making landfall on the Texas coast is a lot worse than it is for hurricanes making landfall elsewhere in gulf states or the Atlantic coast. I get there is always uncertainty, but 48 hours ago weren't we projecting Brownsville as the center of the track? That's like forecasting a landfall at Daytona Beach, FL but instead it happens at  Charleston SC.

No. As you can see from Storms quote it was pretty close 48 hours ago. Now 72 hours ago, yes, it was predicted to be closer to Mexico.

watching blue shed Jeff and he's showing a bunch of water spouts about 30 miles off shore of Freeport and thinks there is going to be a lot of tornado action as those bands come ashore

Just assume Houston gets fucked, it's science.

That map auto-updates to the most recent track.

Your point stands, though.  The big shift in track happened between 7/4 and 7/5.

You are correct and I didn’t notice that was a “live” picture. Quoted 3putts which is not.

It's actually quite easy in Texas. Take whatever the models say and shift it 300 miles up the coast. Happens every single time.


Mexico >>> Brownsville >>> Corpus >>> Rockport >>> Port Lavaca >>> Bay City
