Harvey hit Calhoun / Victoria counties damn hard. the damage was so wide spread, unlike storms in the past. Beryl might be bigger and nastier, 80 mile wide strike zone.

Word is, heb storm relief is packed and ready. Just waiting to see where this one hits. When they rolled in the day after Harvey it was like a miracle on wheels. They were helping one week before the state and female. HeB also has another team to get damaged stores up and running asap. Well organized machine

Ask your buddy what The Villages are like.

He is living in his new wife’s million dollar home one block from the Atlantic Ocean on the Treasure Coast. 

Last Sunday, we walked to the beach and jumped in the ocean.   The water is so murky you just have to take it on faith that a shark is not right next to you.

4 pm update from NHC nudges a little further east than the morning tracks, but still aiming at Corpus.

Yeah...

I'm thinking about boarding up the windows this weekend if it keeps looking that way.  We're going to make the evac call on Sunday afternoon.  We live on a canal on the island so I'll probably bail for a Cat 2.

Although getting off the island will be an absolute clusterfuck that day with all of the tourists going home AND people evacuating...

No way I'm driving up I37 if I head to my dad's at Lakehills.

Showed up in Bastrop after the first fire the next day. Said all school lunches are free for 30 days, no matter the kid. One thing they bring that gets over looked is washer and dryer units.

If there was one group I would want to go for work for it is them. I have done the FEMA rapid response thing. We sat in a hotel waiting for the all clear to start the recon. Frustrating.

Deep govt info - port Lavaca is preparing for a cat 3 to hit between Seadrift and Port Lavaca. They’re working like mad to check on elderly and get them out of danger. Known low water areas will be barricaded off some time Sunday. People are refilling meds, buying water, and food.  Evacuation order is ready for Sunday am. Possible land fall very late Sunday / early Monday 
 

victoria is preparing for a massive flooding event and handling evacuees from the coast

 

 

My GF's best friend owns the winery in Long Mott...hope they don't get all fucked up there.

No further eastward shift in the 7 PM Friday update from NWS.

I don't believe they would adjust the track until 10pm tonight (if they are going to)

Didn’t Harvey make landfall as a Cat 4/3 and this is predicted to be a Cat 2?


Not sure what state and FEMA assistance you’re referring to as being delayed, but we arrived in Montgomery county for staging the night of August 24th

At this rate 72 hours in advance it's going to pass east of Houston. Rita or Laura all over again. 

Hell, Florida and Georgia had better watch their cornholes.

Recon just found 67 knot winds. Would appear Beryl might already be a hurricane again, 36 hours before forecast. 

All I know for sure is I will continue to pay stage 3 water restriction prices.

Thanks Biden.

Beryl took a beating and currently looks awful. Time will tell on how quickly it get it’s shit together. 

Good. Tropical Storm without organization travels more westerly, destroys less and drops more rain. I know this becasue I've researched tu fuck out of storm systems in the last 7-8 minutes. I'm not an expert, but I'm close.

There isn't a secondary/competing vortex, so once it clears the cooler shelf waters off the Yucatan, it won't stop intensifying until landfall

This is the latest Euro that came out at 18z. Probably doesn't mean anything since it's just one run, but the trend continues east. Luckily it's not even Cat 1, but anything stronger in that particular location would be a worst case scenario for Galveston and the ship channel. All that water would get pushed into the bay and have nowhere to go but into oil refineries and houses.

Ike was stronger but a little further east.

TAMU-CC pulled the trigger on mandatory evacuation by 9am tomorrow.  This includes the just-off-campus housing that a sizable % of students live in.   Seems early to me, but maybe they know it takes X hours to really get people out.
