First shower I've seen just blew through, looks like the first sustained rain'll be here in about an hour. Wind 20-35.
I hope Rog chimes in. 80mph in Corpus!

Yup, and Cantore is still standing out in it.
come on driftwood...Looks like landfall (this time) is at Rockport. They're still talking about it strengthening more and then moving back out into the Gulf before making landfall somewhere along the coast east of there, maybe Galveston. Ed Any heavy flying trash would work!

...Can anyone in the area find him and start hucking stuff his direction? You'd almost have to be in the water. The moron is standing on Shoreline Blvd which is right on the water. Besides, most everyone I know down there has a beer (or something stronger) in their hand. Never waste a good drink. Ed

Put those generators on stilts, gents! You know, there was a time when generators weren't even invented. There is life without electricity even though I reside in the humidity of the Gulf Coast. Miserable, yes but not a death blow.

Now reports of tornadoes and tornado warnings. A tornado damaged a McDonalds in Galveston a little while ago and two cells NW of Rockport are showing circulation on radar.

Im up here at the ranch and have The weather channel on. I never watch this channel. Just have one question. Who the hell is that moron standing out in the wind spouting off all that blatherscipe??? What an idiot!!! Cantore. He stood on Seawall Blvd in Galveston when Ike was pushing the initial storm surge and splashing water up on the road. He kept going on & on about how the 17' tall seawall was being breached by these massive waves. The seawall tailrace is 17', only 8' +/-, of which is vertical. The remainder is horizontal & buried under the sand. So, those massive waves were no where near 17'. Anybody that has ever been to Galveston could plainly see that.

Pretty ominous message!! Geez. I just commuted 60 miles from Houston toward Freeport, west to work for the night shift. I got rained on and the wind blew. Just another day on the Gulf Coast.

I hadn't heard about the SS on the arm deal? Rockport is full of artsy types, he might have been having some fun with them? I live a few miles from Freeport, barely raining now, wind has died - was blowing pretty strong a little earlier. We lost power for about a hour, but it is back on now - for now. Not too bad, really.

National Weather Service predicts and warns of "immense human suffering" in store for those in the storms path and not evacuating.
For real!?? How do they already know this? Do they just want to be right about their earlier predictions?

It was mayor of Rockport . I heard it too! Nothing like a rosy outlook and attitude for your constituency! Idiot. He's just making sure his constituency is aware of the danger. The Texas coast where Harvey is going to hit is barely above sea level and flat. The locals in Part Aransas have been told to expect a storm surge of 6-12 feet and winds of 125mph with gusts of 155mph. Category 3 Hurricane Allen hit South Padre Island in 1980 and the whole island was covered with 12 feet of water. Almost all the homes were destroyed. Harvey is a Category 4 tornado now.

Mike Oh they were very specific. Even asked that you use a sharpie!! Shocked they did not specify color based on your color. Godspeed folks. You'll get through this. Most good Fire members are here to assist where needed. Hang tough!!
