Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Hurricane Harvey!

Well, thankfully we don't get those hurricanes up here, just those smaller, tighter ones.

God's protection for you all down there in or near the path.

Just saw how bad it's predicted to be, this morning on the local news... Nearly 3 FEET of rain??? Great Scott!! I will pray for the citizens in its path - that they be safe, sound and away from the hell about to hit that area..

I wish you all the best down there in Texas. I too will be praying for you.

If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you a question regarding Harvey's resemblance to Hurricane Ike in 2008. Ike was bad for you. Harvey seems like a similar sort of storm, starting in a similar place, developing similarly, and making landfall in a similar spot. I'm asking for purely selfish reasons. Ike was the first hurricane to hit Cincinnati, Ohio in recorded history. We had 75 mph winds and power was out for days. Frankly, here in Cincinnati, we don't normally pay attention to Hurricanes the way you all need to. I'm just wondering if it could happen again.

Yep, prayers for the folks in South Texas. Looks to be a very nasty storm.

Last year, hurricane Matthew did most of it's damage with rivers flooding. Our church will be going to eastern N.C. For at least two more years to help rebuild down there. Stay the heck away from flood prone rivers!!!!!

If road conditions permit, going to try to head home next Friday or Saturday. Our place can handle a 20" rain for the most part. Just be rebuilding fence that washes out. But my concern is i still have several dead trees from the drought that are a bit scary looking! But good neighbors and friends are close by.

Here's where you go for the real info. Tune into your local AM news station that will be utilized by your local emergency management. Avoid the national doomsday news. Remember, it is a HURRICANE, and totally unpredictable by even the latest technology.

OH [bleep]........JIM CANTORIE IS IN CORPUS......WE'RE SCREWED....&%!"&&#

its suppose to stall and sit on us for a few days.

I'd LOVE to get close enough to that sumbitch to slap the liberal out of him!

Thank Lt. DAMN Good advice. We also have a great county oem. My retirement present back in 2008 was not having to work Ike! . But old son got called out. I think he spent 2 weeks in your AO. I did get to work Rita from Central Texas emer command.

I don't miss it and I know the drill all too well.


Guessing lots of darkies will be get stuck in their cars in Houston and need rescuing.

If you get close enough to slap him, you're close enough to drown him and it will be your Christian duty to do so.

i was at the omni yesterday but didn't see him there, probably came later in the day.

Are any roadways (I37?) in contra-flow?

not that i've heard.

Thanks Rog!!

See if you can stall as much as you can, and then kick it towards Cuba or Mexico, please.

going to the place my daughter manages and filling the ice shest up from their ice maker.

You're about the last person I would worry about in times like this. People like us have.more to fear from ourselves than Mother Nature or other people.

As to Ike, that one came ashore just east of Galveston, on Bolivar - hundreds of miles from Corpus. Ike didn't waste any time on the coast, just smashed on through. My folks in East Texas above Beaumont had more damage than we did on the coast, since we were maybe 40 miles from the landfall, and on the "dry" side. I didn't remember it making ti as far as Ohio, though? Don't think this one will do that, it's expected to drown Corpus for several days, then continue east on the coast - passing directly over my location, but as a Tropical Storm or at worst a Cat 1 Hurricane (which ain't good, but better than Cat 3 or 4!)
