100 mph in downtown is not out of the question at all.tmaggie50 said:
With a hit through Houston, what would the winds be by the time it made it to downtown? Below 100?

I am more worried about flying COVID particles than losing power...HTHcamelclub said:
Anyone else located near beltway 8 and I10? Not as worried about wind here but don't want to be stuck without power or AC. Would likely head to Austin if we do evacuate

Looks like the panic will begin at 10am when the local news gets the latest NHC update.
Same location...likely do we what we did during Ike. If power goes leave when the sun come up after the wind starts to die down. Roads will be wide open.camelclub said:

I'm in Austin now through Saturday for work. My wife and kids are in Katy. I just talked to her and they're gonna stay put. We have a bunch of tall pines, so my main concern is one of them coming down on the house. Not too worried about flooding. It sounds like they're expecting this thing to move on through.camelclub said:

weighing leaving now versus afterwards. I could get out by 9 AM. Traffic cams look ok so far.

Don't read into that... I don't think the 0700/0800 (depending on time zone of the storm) typically includes a track shift.

What do you think it will be like here?

That was my experience during Rita when we evacuated to my dad's place there.Anti-taxxer said:kapon said:

Windy. Not devastating.

Thoughts and opinions on Pearland? Feel like we're in that "kinda close to the coast zone, but not exactly".

Which part of Pearland? I had recently moved to Shadow Creek Ranch prior to Ike hitting in 2008 and it wasn't too bad. We lost a handful of shingles, wood fence came down, and we were without power for about a week. No damage from trees, but we were in a new section of SCR and the trees were all small. We had a small generator to run a fan, refrigerator, etc, but getting gas for it was a pain because many of the gas stations in the area were without power.Nagler said:
