It was the NHC that used the term unsurvivable. I don't disagree with you about the Weather Channel, but in this case that language came directly from the experts at NHC.

Looks like they missed pretty big on storm surge estimates. Great news.


NOAA is showing about a 9-11 ft surge at Calcisu Pass, which is no joke, but fortunately looks like Lake Charles got around 4-5 feet max.

What's sad is that I bet that boat has not degraded the structural integrity of that bridge.

But but UNSURVIVABLE

the weather channel is just as bad as MSNBC


The unsurvivable language was for the coast, not LC.

And it was in very poor shape to begin with.

I think they severely over estimated based on the size of the storm (small) and the speed of the storm (fast 15-16 mph).

To me it would make more sense that the surge would be lower with the storm moving faster.

Closed. I called a little while ago and got the answering machine saying they were closed for the day.

Yikes. That is a huge industrial area. I'm guessing the leak is from the tank farm right off of I10? There's a larger one on the north side and I think a rail yard and smaller chem plants and a few tanks on the south side.

I think PSX has a refinery on the north side along with the huge new Sasol plant and 2 Entergy power plants.

Thanks to the power of TexAgs, the blue cart will live to see another booze cruise.

In all seriousness- praying for those in the path.

Yea I called as well. I'm trying to figure out if they will re-open tomorrow. Was hoping to get a round in Friday afternoon.

Assuming they didn't take on much water I would assume they will open back up for the weekend.

Also, prayers to those in south Louisiana and Lake Charles area, they really took it on the chin last night. Looks like Beaumont area was spared for the most part, fortunately.

That is a big concern when one of these hits Houston. How many instances like this would we have along the Ship Channel? It will be interesting to see what the petrochemical infrastructure damage ends up being.

I'm guess with the mandatory evac on the island they didn't have the staff to open. I guessing by this weekend they should be good to go.

If there's anything I learned from the explosion in Beirut, it's that you should definitely stay close by when an unknown chemical is burning out of control.
