It looks like Corpus might be spared, but it will still be affected. I have also posted info from around the Coastal Bend.

HEB says they still have plenty of bread, water, and gasoline.

thanks for the info! a friend that works for the coast guard said that they and the navy will be evacuated tomorrow.

what chance do you think there is that this thing will move west instead of northwest and hit corpus?

Caller Times talked about the naval personnel being evacuated. Here's an Caller Times Article on it if you haven't already seen it.

A friend of mine has been watching it on stormpulse.com. All of the models have it going north, and he says that based on what he has seen the past several days, POC is not the place to be. Of course he isn't a meteorologist, just a guy with too much free time on his hands! His meteorologist friend has been predicting CC the last several days, but I do not know what he has said today. Maybe he will chime in.

i hope he does! thanks for all of the information you have provided, we really appreciate it!

Most sources now agree and have the hurricane going in between Freeport and Galveston. That's a terrible entry point for Houston folks.

Looks like Corpus might not be a bad place to be Friday night...

Hey chump, you left off Calallen ISD.

They're closed Thurs and Fri

any body have a report on Port A - my in-laws live there but are on vacation in Montana right now.

I think everything is fine. They closed 361 around Packery because of water on the road.

Aransas county (the county across the channel from Port A) lifted their evacuation order.

San Juan Restaurant was the only restaurant open yesterday.
