Don't we usually get some intel from O&G guys whose company weather teams have more detailed track and intensity info to protect offshore assets?

I suspect we'll see additional evac orders later today. Noon Wednesday is a conservative deadline for the coast but the reality is probably that most areas have until Wednesday early evening to be gone. There's still a lot of time tonight and tomorrow for evacuation.

The stores will be a **** show beginning this evening / late afternoon though.

I think the NHC cares more about being right than they do people evacuating Galveston. I just can't get behind the idea they'd sandbag their prediction because of that.
I just feel like no one would ever listen to them again if they sandbagged for any reason.

they aren't sandbagging. Houston is in their cone.

What would be stupid, is for them to drastically move the cone west and then have the hurrican take a hard right. They are playing in conservatively which is the smart move considering Houston's size.

I work for Shell and our latest update mirrored the NHC track at the 7am update, but we are getting things kicked up for our continuity plans and making a call on if we evacuate critical Houston based personnel this afternoon

In Clear Lake... about three miles down Space Center Blvd from Nassau Bay, right at Bay Area Blvd.

I'm on the fence as to go or not.


I'm 2 miles from you. Wife and kid heading out. I'll weather with hound. We lose power I'll leave afterward.
That's kinda where I'm leaning. Wife's job is sending her to their disaster recovery set-up inland, so I think I'm gonna top off the car, fill a couple of cans for the generator and swing by Spec's... ride it out with the pup.

STAY SAFE!

I am no scientist, but I've pretty much been staring at models, reading forums, etc since Sunday and if I had to bet I think it makes landfall just east of Galveston.I agree with the posters above who mention being conservative as to not induce mass choas for Houston, when honestly the majority of people do not need to evacuate.

I also think Laura will borderline be a cat 4 storm.



This is me.

I am a scientist. I believe the guys in Miami are the best in the world and they don't have an agenda. They move the cone as the data says to. They say Sabine Pass, I am going with Sabine Pass. It has consistently shifted west, but I don't seeit shifting further West than High Island. We are staying here in LC/Kemah until the pros shift it west of High Island.

This. When peoples lives are at stake they aren't going to play evac mind games.
This is true, which is why they aren't playing scare the crap out of you mind games. Houston would be a disaster on the highway system and cause more fatalities than if everyone hunkers down. They are evacuating the coast from Galveston to Beaumont.

There is a good chance this comes near or at Houston and that isn't being talked about with real possibilities. Even if they said Houston, and they were 100% correct, the nightmare and fatalities of getting on the road would be higher than staying in place.

I-10 is flooded already!?!?
It's an airboat. It can float on air; hence, the name.

Don't want an Ike repeat!


Funny thing is, they are out trimming the small, more recently planted trees that are more decorative landscaping than anything. Hopefully, they will make their way to the bigger ones that actually pose a serious risk.

Have a generator for the refrigerator and deep freezer, and the wife is making a Total Wine run today. Need to fill up a couple of gas cans, but I think we're good beyond that. We'll see how this goes.

The important question is if there are any blue sheds in the path? Also is there a camera stream?

But seriously I think we're gonna stay put and then duck out if it looks like we'll be out of power after it passes.
