Per usual notice- if there is a tropical storm bordering on potential Hurricane, the National Hurricane Center issues maps and warnings.


Today they are posting about Tropical Storm Emily- which is about to make landfall in Florida- with sustained winds now at 45 MPH and climbing.

Once it crosses Florida- it's forecasted to run up the eastern seaboard- offshore- but not inland at this time- .

Keep your eyes on this one, just in case.

This thing better stay away from Mississippi, we're flying down to Biloxi/Beau Rivage on the 31st!:eek:
 
My daughter's home is in Harvey's bullseye at Fulton TX. Her husband, the mayor, and Rockports mayor working hard together to be sure the towns people are out of there. Residents of Nursing homes and prisoners out of the area. I don't know how the oystermen have secured their boats...their livelihoods. Prayers gratefully accepted. Thank you, with all my heart...
 
My best wishes to the people of Texas, Hugo passed right over my house in 1989 and I know what can happen.
 
Prayers and best wishes to all in Harvey's path.

As strange as this will sound, here on the north coast we lost power for three days when Sandy hit the east coast a few years back.

Good luck to all.
 
My family okay, property not. Mayor Kendrick, and Aransas County Judge Mills TV interview showed the heartbreaking feelings they have,taking it all personally. Rockport larger, damage more extensive. Continuing prayers for all who are being touched by this; and as the power companies are able to clear areas enabling house-to-house searches, that no more deaths are discovered. We have Federal workers all thru this part of Texas. from the whole of the gulf, to San Antonio, on up north... as if the wind itself wasn't enough..the water....
 
Still more rain and winds from Harvey expected to continue:


Winds greater than 39 MPH expected over the next 5 days here:

And rainfall continuing here:

Not very pretty stuff.
 
We fared well in Austin and San Antonio. Was in SA during weekend and we had strong wind and steady rain, at times hard. Today was a big turnaround..even some clear skies and sunshine. But Houston to Corpus Christi ..wow! Unfortunately have a very dear cousin located about 30 miles South of Houston with his wife and family. They had to move to neighbors house on Saturday to get to higher ground as theirs is flooded. The neighbors house still has electricity so they are aware of what is going on. They know water will continue rising as it continues to rain... And well being South of Houston, water will eventually flow towards them as well there in Rosharon, TX...tiny town. Their neighborhood is locked in by flood waters. They worked last few days creating sand bags to bolster the nearby levee and have pumps running. Appreciate all the prayers for them and all the folks in Houston and surrounding areas and small towns.
 
Just a reminder for any of us here that want to help Texans recover from this tragedy. Beware of scammers. The warnings have been in the news lately but it doesn't hurt to keep reminding people.
 
yes, NASA.. And I saw a post on facebook yesterday showing an ad a Jason Heisler (sp) had put out, rather lengthy, detailed, handwritten, basically being a 'fence' for looters, that he would put them on his payroll at $15 (forgot if by hour) but they had to guarantee they would keep their lips sealed tight, and turn their cheek the other way when looting. So, obviously, I was rather pleased when I read articles of a couple of homeowners shooting intruders. But those were cases where the home was still occupied. I know TX Natl Guard is tied up with rescuing, etc. But can't other states put theirs on loan to use as property protection.?
If I can locate it, is there a way for me to post it in TSPTalk? I truly believe this man and his ilk need to be relieved of any partaking of any of this planet's resources..

Irritatedly yours, grandma

As busy as local law enforcement is right now I would hope someone is monitoring social media.
 
Sadly- Hurricane Harvey is just the beginning of Hurricanes this year- - as now Hurricane IRMA is aiming at Southern Florida.

Here is the 5-day forecast from the National Hurricane Center- with the current computer models of where to expect hurricane force winds over the next 5 days.

Batten down the hatches- here we go again.

Note:

If I had my "druthers"- I'd make it so that people could not build within 100 miles of the ocean, on any surface that is LESS THAN 100 feet above sea level, UNLESS They put, in the bank, on deposit, sufficient funds to rebuild their own house/building, etc. And I would make flood insurance MANDATORY to build within that zone, and that the flood insurance program pay for itself through premiums, without ANY federal tax dollars in the mix.

If you choose to build where hurricanes regularly destroy, then it is up to YOU to rebuild- NOT up to the taxpayers to subsidize you.

My 2 cents.

These "Once in a million years" storms AREN'T once in a million years.

They are to be expected along the coasts. Hurricanes happen. Flooding happens. If you build in places where the ground is only a few feet above sea level, you should be prepared for the resulting flood.
