Now that it's daylight, blue shed looks more like green shed. We may have a branding conundrum.

YETI has a real good opportunity to run down there and brand it #SeaFoamShed, verified hurricane proof.

Guys, I'm not talking about a hobbyist drone. We have military drones flown from halfway around the world, you'd think there is something that could handle getting surveillance in 50-70 mph winds.
The problem isn't getting it to fly, it's landing it in winds that strong. That is outside of the landing envelope of most military aircraft, not to mention drones.
Oh man, Someone made Blueshed shirts and they're already on amazon.

That's it. Been veering away for years now but this event seals the deal.
100% done with The Weather Channel. The sensationalist antics are cringe worthy and downright embarrassing.
It's not even that good of weather coverage either.

My mom confirmed the blue shed is part of the car wash business (I was thinking it could be a snack stand/raspas), and was like oooohhkayyy when I told her it was now famous on the internet. Hopefully their house is as strong as #blueshed.
Did they sell ice from it?

Maybe the issue isn't the capability of drones but it's the fact they're not worried about getting pictures to post to social media and they're more concerned with helping the people that need it, assessing the damage, and safely starting the recovery process in a diaster area.
Had to turn off TWC as well. Terrible coverage of what's actually happening on the ground and sensationalism that makes me want to puke.
Yep. The online used to be weather....now it takes 20min to load because of all the crap on it and suggested videos are like tmz. Sad. I liken it to the food network then and now, but they are only reacting to what the stupid people want. Let's be honest, there are many more stupid peopleEliminatus said:

All the coverage is in Houston and Galveston right now. It's windy and wet there right now. This concludes your update from Galveston and Houston.

I don't know; as I understand it it was likely the kiosk for the attendant but all my mom said was "It is part of the car wash business."aggiedata said:

Either way damn impressive.

This TwC guy leaning against the wind needs to be punched in the dick.
At this point the wind speed is a normal day at St. Andrews where he is. Digging his leg in to brace against that wind is just fake as **** now.
Last night the moron could have legit slipped and been washed away as low as he was walking into some flood waters. But now it's just silly
No ***** The guy last night at the hotel that walked out into the storm surge and kept going back to grab the rail was out of his damn mind. There was a little dry land that looked like a pebble landscape to the right that I guess he thought would save him if he slipped. But I don't know about that. If he ended up on it he might not have been able to get off. Dude is nuts.

I've had several friends do this as well. I guess they think it's funny?
Out of state friends and family often have no grasp of how big Texas is, so they will pester you constantly about events that are hours away. It's easy to use the FB thing to reassure them.
Hell, my younger sister was born & raised in Texas and was in college at UH during Allison but lives in Denver now kept bugging all of us here in Houston to see if we were ok.
People of integrity expect to be believed, when they're not, they let time prove them right.
I turned off the weather channel last night when they said to not light candles indoors.
Who in the F so these arrogant idiots think they are.

Footage of the car wash and HEB
I guess the silver lining of all this is that this happened after the summer tourist season and wasn't an early season hurricane.
Hopefully they can recover quickly.

Current NWS projection shows Brazos River cresting at 55' (a record) by Tuesday. Last flood put water a few feet from breaching the levee here in Sienna Plantation. Hopefully 55' does not put it over.
Footage of the Lighthouse Inn and the Boiling Pot. Been to that Valero many times.
It looks like we made it ok in Portland. AEP says a week without power, who knows.
Trying to figure out when I can go back. Going to have to leave the wife and kids behind in Austin.
You see things like Katrina and Ike on the news but you never think it will actually happen to you. But here we are.

We're about to drive to the West End of Galveston if possible. Any insights to road conditions would be helpful
I have a few friends in Rockport, anyone need a drive by an address let me know, no guarantees, but maybe I can have them take some pics. I won't let them place themselves in danger but never know.

Why are you heading out there? Tides are high, swells are high. I would not be impatient and rush down to the island. West End (Pirates especially) can flood with a normal rain storm let alone tropical systems.
Weather websites are like photo hosting websites. We all need a good one, and across the board they all suck.
I gave up on weather.com about a year ago. I use AccuWeather now but still not super happy with any options.

For tropical stuff, Wunderground is good, their Cat6 blog is good. Crown Weather (requires a sub) is good. Hurricane Tracker is good.
I normally wouldn't say this on the Outdoors board, but given that mfbarnes has been proven to be active this week, I'd erase that post and DM it to Wink so you don't give someone a chance to discover any personal info.

I45 at 61st is flooded according to Darby Douglas.
Good thinking, thanks for the heads up.
