Re: August 2017: Tracking Harvey/Catastrophic Flooding/Torna

Gotta go out and try to get a pump turned on. Water is getting too close to the back door. Never done this. At least the rain just stopped.

Re: August 2017: Tracking Harvey/Coastal Impacts/Inland Floo

This is not urgent - and I don't know if Jeff Lindner every comes to this forum. I want to give a MAJOR shout-out to him. I heard him talking on KRBE this morning and he was really come across very clear about the weather threats, without overdoing it for the Houston folks. It's obviously difficult ...

Re: August 2017: Tracking Harvey/Coastal Impacts/Inland Floo

My husband heard on the radio just now of mandatory evacuations for all coastal counties. Is this correct? I am in Brazoria county. We are totally hurricane (evacuation) prepared, but I haven't seen anything about Brazoria Co. and wondering if the radio station was exaggerating. Please advise, Than...

Re: August 2017: Tracking Harvey/Coastal Impacts/Inland Floo

I'm getting worried about potential impacts to the southwest side of Houston. I made a joke earlier that Harvey was going to come straight up 59. However, if it really does seem to be moving in from that side - it puts my area on the edge of some rough weather. I'd like to be able to warn my neighbo...

That HAS to impact the next model runs, right?

Re: August 2017: Tracking Harvey/Coastal Impacts/Inland Floo

Why so much trouble with predictions as it nears the coast?
1) because it's the GOM which is notoriously troublesome?
2) because of a frontal passage or trough?
3) because it's too far out to predict well?
4) some other reason?

I am in awwwwwwweeee with this run. What is this 2/3 straight days of this making landfall then coming back into the GoM and then strengthening into a full blown hurricane only to make landfall again on the Tx/La border area? This is just insane! David - you're in Sugar Land - I am in southwest Hou...

Re: August 2017: Rain Chances/ TS Franklin Nearing BoC

I heard a forecaster say that the low was going to drift back over town and we are due to get more heavy rain. I just wanted to see if that's the general consensus here?

thanks.

Re: June 2017: TS Cindy/Tropical Storm Warning Issued

Agreed. I don't think it's the NWS or NHC or even the city government that is at fault here. I just think that people/companies/institutions have become quite complacent. We've had so many near misses that people just figure this is another one, as indeed, it might be. Re the experimental products: ...

Re: June 2017: TS Cindy/Tropical Storm Warning Issued

Unfortunately, we usually have to wait for the UH System to make any announcements like this. And they can be a bit slow... we are usually one of the last to find out if we are closing. Last year we had an incident where the university didn't announce closing until well after most employees were alr...

Re: June 2017: TS Cindy/Tropical Storm Watch/Warning Issued

So... even though the center could pass right over Houston, there seems to be little in the way of concern. I guess it's because most of the rain is in the NE quadrant? But I've been reading observations that the west side is filling in, is that correct? And that it's taking on more traditional trop...
