PatsFanTX Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 This is not good. If it stays on that path, we take a direct hit. We are 20 miles inland from Galveston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 It's not looking good. My mother has secured a hotel room in Austin, but I just want to go to Lake Charles and watch the damn Jets game. I said I would never run from one of these again after I wasted two days in San Antonio avoiding the legendary Ivan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 warm gulf water could very well strenghten it to maybe a 3 so watch out. if you ride it out tx, take the wheels off the house seriously I hope the thing fizzles for everyones sake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Scary. Tx-ever see that History Channel show about Galveston taking a direct hit way back? We're told that the south shore of LI-from Breezy Point (where my parents live) to Montauk is relatively safe since the ocean water rarely is as hot as the Gulf, storms cannot get much past cat 1 or 2. And the few occasions it came close to a serious hit(Gloria and Belle in the late 70s) storms petered out. Still, if they ever had to evacuate , it would be chaos.

shawn306 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 If it does hit hopefully it only packs as much punch as a Chad 20 yd out pass. Seriously though get out of dodge and be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanTX Posted September 20, 2005 Author Share Posted September 20, 2005 Scary. Tx-ever see that History Channel show about Galveston taking a direct hit way back? Thanks folks for all the well wishes. Bugg, I did see that show about Galveston on the History Channel. People seem to forget that Galveston is a very low-lying island. A direct hit and that place would be completley devestated and underwater. I just heard on the news that they will begin evacuations of Galveston tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM.

sirlancemehlot Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Why do I think that is a slam? It's a well disguised slam, if you ask me. I even contemplated a few smilies until I thought better of it. It'll be awesomely funny after the storm's passed and everyone's come out alright. Best of luck to you.

Barton Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 You gonna board up the windows tx? I was just watching the news, and they said it could REALLY strength out in the gulf and potentially be a 4 or even 5 hurricane before it makes landfall, saying it could be another Katrina. Not sure where it would hit around you, but definetly stay safe tx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
