Possibly helpful site whether you provide a shelter or need one.

I don't think so... been hit by several systems in the past. Things are shaping up for this to be a really bad one.

I don't mean to be insensitive....but what does this mean for dove season opening day? Disclaimer: I have family along the coast and realize the seriousness of the situation.
HEB wasn't too bad, a few disheveled evacuees shopping for a few days stay.
Mostly looked like locals stocking up for a house full of temporary guests.
Tractor Supply sold their last generator this morning when I was getting some feed.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

It means that if you are hunting anywhere south of Temple and east of San Antonio that you should probably be prepared to make other plans. Other parts of the state might be wetter than normal but should be fine.primomosquito said:

Totally depends on where you will be hunting.
It means the birds won't be concentrating over tanks or ponds. It also means they will be blown around all over the place.. probably into Oklahoma (jk)
My wife is worried about us being in West San Antonio. I told her we could go north to Granbury to her parents, but it would be tough getting home for school to start Monday.
Buddy of mine in Rockport just had a city official come by his house and say they're starting a mandatory evacuation of Rockport by tomorrow.

That's what I told her too. Should we think about leaving for the weekend?
No reason to leave San Antonio unless you are in a flood plain. Make sure you have enough food/water to last a few days of flooding and plan not to drive anywhere over the weekend, but no reason to leave.

That's really freaking cool.
If there is anyone in Port A or you know someone in Port A who could help my father board up at 3 PM it would be greatly appreciated!!!
Boarding up this afternoon. Getting prepped to bug out if we need to tomorrow morning. If it hits pretty far north of us (Port Lavaca) we'll stay put. If it hits closer, we'll head out 624 to Cotulla, then head northwest. I'm not touching I-37.

San Antonio will be fine. Order tacos.
I'll update it throughout the day as my work schedule allows. Even though I don't live in the Gulf Coast region any longer, I'm still a tropical weather follower.
So North of Houston up I-45 still just a lot of rain?

The rain models are consistent with the heaviest rain over the coast, but that will likely change when the storm gets closer to making landfall.
If it goes Cat 3 before it hits, and stalls on or near the coast, it could still be a cat 1 48 hours later. That's worth being dramatic about
They have found hurricane force winds. Expect an update from the NHC.
I think he's referring to the comparisons to some of the most intense hurricanes of all time, e.g., Gilbert, 1900 Storm, etc., not to mention the 15,000 year flood, whatever that is.Sasappis said:Meaux92 said:
Some of y'all are going a little overboard.
It is truly hard to tell now a days.
The weather channel this morning was using all sorts of overly dramatic words and catastrophic predictions. I don't trust them one bit.
I do trust the NHC and they seem confident that the storm will come ashore and then stall out. That seems like a bad thing but it still seems like mostly a rain event for the bulk if the area.
While 15" of rain is a lot, if that is over a 48 to 72 hour period most of the area can handle that. We have had a modert summer so the grass is green but the bayous and rivers are not already elevated.
The April flood of 16 the gauge closest to my house shows 13+" in less than a 12 hour period. That is a tremendous amount of rain. Just no way to know or say if we will have rates near that amount.
You're correct that Houston will have some concerns with rainfall, but most areas outside of Houston - not on the coast in the vicinity of landfall - will be fine.
Here's a fascinating but long read about Jeff Masters flying into Hurricane Hugo.Quote:

Stupid question I'm sure, however, does that plane fly through the hurricane to get the measurements or over it and position an instrument inside the storm?
Guess this answers my question. That's insaneRebelE91 said:Here's a fascinating but long read about Jeff Masters flying into Hurricane Hugo.Quote:

Don't leave SA unless in a flood plain. If you live in West San Antonio it's hills there.
When Rita hit around Austin the people went bat sheet crazy. It was pure madness the people freaking out.
