Is dr Neal Frank still alive?
We just need a random, scruffy fat dude with a cigar and plastic colored visor to call it and it’s official.
By the way, trusted friend told me that Cantore is in Surfside Beach.
Travis is far from doomsday imo. He’s been the best local meteorologist on this and many others. I love space city weather as well but Matt and Eric are both too prone to sounding absolute in their predictions and try not to sound “too hype” and then have to eat crow later on. Travis has been on this storms northerly trend for days and done a great job explaining why.

Btw….I was stuck at Ochsner Hospital on Jefferson Hwy in NOLA during Katrina.

The problem is that this is a situation where we could see rapid intensification prior to landfall. If the storm is a category 1 24-36 hours before landfall, then it could easily intensify to a category 3. It would reach that intensity right before landfall and people will have stayed for an unexpected major hurricane. It's not like Katrina or Rita where you knew it was going to be really bad before it had impacts.brazoriatx wrote: ↑Fri Jul 05, 2024 7:08 pm If it's a cat 1 at landfall how many people on here are actually going to leave? I plan on staying of it's a ts or a cat 1 maybe a 2..anything at a 3 or above then I would probably leave
I hope so. No offense to people living there, but it's less populated. I don't want to live days without power. I don't want to replace a fence, a roof, windows, or have a tree fall on my house. I don't want the shed to collapse on my boat. I don't want to work mandatory 12-hour shifts for weeks on end with no days off because Houston is a disaster area.
As a young man, I would have loved to ride out a hurricane. I'm a middle-aged man now with a job and family, and I've gotten canes out of my system. I'll take a hot, dry summer over a cane any day. Hopefully, this storm will stay a tropical storm and just bring a bit of rain and wind. Doesn't seem likely.
My experience is these tracks shift east over time when they are heading towards MX/TX. Corpus seems to be the main target right now, so I'm pretty concerned. Time is running out.

Track will definitely be shifting north, and what is the HWBI doing? Weird loop

Is it me or is this trough making some decent progress south? That is incredible for this time of year.
I’ve never really experienced a hurricane before so I wouldn’t mind experiencing a cat 1 or 2. The closest I’ve came to experiencing one was Claudette in 2003 and Tropical Storm Frances in 1998.
To say the least. When I was younger I was ecstatic when storms came here.. having my house flooded for days to weeks with Allison and Harvey, then the winds with Ike and no power for 2+ weeks. I’ll pass.
It’s amazing to see the power of nature but sucks with the aftermath. Plus I have youngins so it’s hard to keep them occupied as is. Much less with generator power LOL!
Pushing 92 I believe, but I can't remember when the last hurricane was that they brought him out of retirement to do a broadcast. I'm sure he would do it again, but I can't imagine folks would ask him.
