Who all is enjoying feeling like your grandpa that told everyone about Hurricane Carla back in the 80's?
Missed it by that much.
Bad syntax on my part.

All the old dudes I was around in the 80's would talk about Carla every time we had a storm. It was in the early 60's, right?

'61, I think.

Heard from my grandparents many times about the big tower sign at the old, pre-90's-renovation Meyerland plaza being blown over.

I knew exactly what your saying. In the 80s everyone talked about Carla. Then it was Alicia. Then Allison and Ike. Hopefully Harvey will be the "where were you" storm for the next generation.

We just spent two hours moving all of our *****

ETA: I'm happy not to get a direct hit. But damn. I could have been not moving all this stuff around.
Right there with you man. But I prefer to think of it as a sacrifice to the hurricane gods. Did you board up your windows?

Euro model that shifted east still coming in with a pretty good wind. Below speeds are in knots, so multiply by 1.15 to get mph.




If that snapshot were to hold true, we'd be looking at about 45 mph up and down I-45, Baytown around 80-90 mph and Port Arthur coming in at 180+ mph winds. Gonna suck regardless where it lands.

Edit: That's a lot of nested "if's". That'd put it at cat 5 and I haven't seen anyone seriously calling for that to be the case, though it has been noted to be a possibility. Added zoom in.

This statement has a tendency to backfire horribly on these weather threads.

I bought plywood for my windows. Y'all are welcome. At least I didn't put it up yet. At the end of hurricane season that **** is gonna be my new attic floor. Tired of falling through my ceiling.

As usual, I don't get anything out of it, but I keep thinking that one of these days I'll click on a grainy video and learn something. Sucker.

No. Max wind on that map is not 180 mph.

You should quit drinking so much before you take the trek up to the attic

You're right...It's 185 mph

Max Wind of 161.3 knots = 185 mph

Fortunately I quit drinking a long time ago. Previous owner put some inch thick particle board down which naturally you fall right through after it's been sitting in a hot humid attic for 20 years.

I see that too. Not positive that's right though. 180 mph would be Cat 5 and Euro is not predicting that.

Those are gusts, not sustained.

Sustained winds, 1 min or longer, are used for category.

Cats are measures of sustained winds. Think that's a graph of gusts.

If I remember correctly didn't Harvey shock everybody with how powerful it was? I remember it being a tropical storm up until like 12 hours before landfall.

Yes. It was widely expected to be a big time rain event, but it escalated to a Cat 4 right as it made landfall near Rockport. It was not expected to make Cat 4.
