That's what I've been hearing. Strong cat 3.

My SIL is in Clear Lake and she's due with her third any day now. I know that you want to be close to your preferred doctor for delivery, but I wish she and her family would stay with other family in Kingwood.
Will her doctor even be around for delivery???!!!??

Half a dozen neighbors and us are riding it out. We're in NW Corpus and actually have topography, so flooding is not really an issue.

Buddy's wife just asked me to get him out of there.

What a **** show

Basically chewed the dude out and I think he's leaving

Tried to tell him this isn't real

Op Sec. They shouldn't tell where they stage. Tx Military will be part of the response.

Be safe B1. I don't know your elevation, but storm surge is one of the worst blows Mother Nature metes out.

Offer still stands. Lots of boats on the side of the road.

If anyone needs to park a car or boat. I am in Hoecheim and live on a hill. It might be windy, but it will not flood. If it does, I'm going to church.

Still close to the coast, but just offering if you need to make multiple trips back and forth. You can leave things here if need be.

Nice find! I've spent the night on that ship with my son's Scout unit a couple times. Those planes are historic artifacts - glad they are moving them downstairs.

I just hope the ship survives with the storm surge.

The way Clear Lake floods, she may be delivering that baby at home. No way to get to the hospital; paramedics can only go by boat. This is not a smart decision.

I would go 181 to 123 in Karnes CIty to the 130 toll road outside of Seguin to 21. 77 might suck with VIctoria in the path.

I think Id go Beeville, Seguin, and then the superhighway to 21. Across 21


Edit: Scoodog has it

I hate to say, but if it's on the gulf side of 361, I would be expecting the worst. The storm surge is gonna be bad.

Ike's storm surge got up the beach pretty decent. Sake with Dolly that year. For Ike, our yard was flooded, and I'm over by the community pool. I know that the water was above the bulkheads in the harbor, and the boat owners were walking in water at their docks.


In-laws have a beach house at cinnamon shore. Not one of those directly on the water but near the middle of the campus. Storm surge gets up pretty high on 361?

My brother is on 77 going south to corpus to the KCS rail yard with 1000 gallons of fuel for the diesels to stage. do not send them north that way.

Be sure to turn on Waze / Google Maps in case it gets crazy out there. Most students are back in town, but some have been waiting until the weekend before. Could be a fair amount of traffic on 21.

Depends on if the highest surge comes in at high tide. Would likely take on water if that is the case.

Yep. Dolly was around Baffin bay. We only got rain, but the surge got to the dune line.

I happened to be at a wedding for friends (from the Woodlands) during Ike. Our yard was flooded from the backside of the Wetlands and the large drainage pipe that connects from the Harbor to the Wetlands .

The problem is NOT riding out the storm. It is that the rainfall flooding may trap you in areas for WEEKS.

How far inland will the winds be a major factor?

I remember Rita caused a lot of wind damage pretty far inland.

An island resident is sheltering in place at a hotel in Oceanside dr. What a fool. 37 is open north both sides. Time to leave.
