Talking about the storm, genius
Huge refineries are about to get crushed.
The fallout will be interesting ...

"I'm sure that won't make a bit of difference for those of you who enjoy a baseless rage over the decisions of a few teenagers."
So it misses west Houston - but won't it be spinning out tornadoes left and right? It did during both Harvey and Ike.
Blue shed, GTFO, this is the BLUE CART!V8Aggie said:
Cart update @ Sea Isle.
There is a slight breeze via the palm leaves I can see. The water you see on the concrete is just where there is a deck above and prior rain. House lot elevation is about 5 feet.
Will keep posting as storm continues.

Is it too late to drive it to POC?

Only if you want to prevent this:
Mostly I care about the Big Green Egg and if something will fly in to a window. May just move the smoker and lighter stuff and make room in the garage just in case SHTF.
I would love to see a BGE fly. If that happens I don't think your garage doors stand a chance.

Its on wheels bro. I could see it rolling, hit a pebble and tip over. Not fly.
I wish they radar loops were more than 2 hours. Really hard to see movements in that short time.
I'm in NW Houston. Stuff that might fly off is secured.
Not like the time when Ike came through and I forgot to secure the trampoline in the back yard. That sucker flew into the house like a sail and the metal legs almost smashed through a window. The wind tried to push it thru between the house and the side fence. It folded like an accordion. I was out in the middle of it with goggles on so I could see trying to keep it from smashing windows. The water was freezing cold coming from the sky.
Good times...

Here in Geismar, LA we had shelter-in-place tornado warnings go off when that band came through. Passed quickly.

We have some good friends who live in Geismar.
We were staying with them one weekend, and decided to go to a bar while we waited for them to get done at an event. We put "bar" into google maps and ended up at some shanty down a dark, dirt road called "bobs bar" or something. It was an experience I will never forget.
Turns out there was a daiquiri bar right down from their neighborhood.

Looks like it's turning, from that radar.
I like this radar...you may have to drag it over to the gulf...

145 mph now with the new advisory.
Lake Charles looks like X marks the spot.
150 mph at landfall estimated, just under Cat 5
Wow

Would it be dumb to make a late afternoon/evening trip to Galveston to check out the 7-9ft waves?
Then it sounds like you should maybe listen if someone like that says something this definitive.
