Do what you think is right. Having lived here all my life, I haven't run from one yet. Not saying I won't, but as of this minute I'm staying.

No power will be the biggest concern.
Ike was still a Cat1 that far north. It wasn't a fun night but I am in The Woodlands and not leaving.

Not feeling great about this. Probably going to be boarding up today.

I'm afraid this could get really bad for this area. Headed for Austin in the morning.
.....and reading the Discussion makes it sound even worse than the forecast.
What discussion? Where do you see that?

Brazoria county. About 25 miles from the coast.

This is what I am worried about. I have a friend who said they had no power for 2.5 weeks. Someone in my neighborhood saying they were just out for a few hours. Weeks in this heat does not sound good to me.
Thanks for the replies.
In the oldest part of The Woodlands and that's my concern too.Kenneth_2003 said:
I'm in Spring, older home/neighborhood... Garage in the back with the driveway going between homes. Two large oaks are my concern. If they go down they'll take out part of the garage and likely a chunk of the house. Not a damn thing I can do about it.

What is that? A Monet?
It depends how far west the track shifts. Houston/Harris County have been more or less in the cone of uncertainty for over 24 hrs now. Don't focus on the skinny black line. If this thing hits where the black line is right now (4am update) as a major, Cat 3 or greater, storm the core of hurricane force winds could easily extend 50 each side of the eye. That would be sustained winds greater than 79 mph.nosoupforyou said:
Storm hits Wed evening and leaves Thursday
What's the story on impact to Houston? Anyone planning to leave?
I'm likely to stay - definitely don't want to be in a huge tragic mess

absolutely. wear your mask even at home now.camelclub said:
Is it possible that the higher winds could kick up latent COVID particles that have settled to the ground and cause a potential spike?
I think the sun provides enough UV to take care of this.camelclub said:

With a hit through Houston, what would the winds be by the time it made it to downtown? Below 100?
