Here we go again...Hurricane BS.

Just talked to my friend in Deer Park in Houston, she's been helping her folks batten down the hatches at their place, and she's heading out in the morning with them to La Grange? to stay with family till this passes...

Stay safe everyone.....

 

Should I be leaving. I'm near downtown houston. <aybe I'll go to trinity, or lake charles. Maybe I shouldn't go to work tomorrow, and just grab my shit and get out.

 

I'll see you boys in Dallas! me and the familia are leaving late Thurs. early Fri.!!

The shop is battened down, I'm out the door to Dallas. Predictions tonight are that Cat1 forces will reach as far as Austin. Dallas will see tropical storm weather. 100mph wind will reach as far as north Houston and 75mph wind as far as Conroe.

 

Yup-this thing is getting scarier and scarier..some of my friends are on there way from Houston and last I spoke with them they had gone about 50 miles in 5 hours!!

 

Man, this is crazy.

I'm in Dallas, I can't offer a place to stay but will help out with whatever I can.

 

UPDATE:

CATEGORY 5, 175mph winds...

 

At this moment I have one room, one bed, and a living room; two couches and a floor. Maybe enough for a few ppl.

and room in my shop which is non ACed and evil but dry.

I live 2 hours north of the coast in College Station. I left for work at 6:30 this morning and pulled into bumper to bumper traffic. It took me 30 minutes to get to work. Normally a 10 minute drive. I still don't have all my employees here. My folks left clear lake at 1:00 pm yesterday and got to my house at 6:20pm. That is normally an hour and a half drive. We have a check point for evacuees as you come into town. My receptionists brother is a cop and was manning it last night. He had a yellow un-airconditioned school bus full of elderly people pull in. Half of them were comotose so he sent the bus directly to the hospital. It was a record high yesterday of 102 F. My hygienists good friend runs three nursing homes in Houston. She had two of her charges die on the way up here. She left at 1 pm yesterday and got here at 6:30 am! The weatherman says we will get 60 to 80 mph winds and a bunch of rain up here. The eye of the hurricaine is projected to come directly over us. I got my water and supplies tuesday night. yesterday Walmart and the grocery stores were out of bottled water and there were long lines at the gas stations. ......and to make this car related. My dad's 51 merc is sitting on blocks in Kemah, Tx. which will raise it approximately 20 feet above sea level. Every time we have a hurricane there is a group of jokers that sit in a bar in Kemah and have a party. The news sends a crew over to videotape them sitting on bar stools with the water up to their butts. I'm thinking the bar will not be there come sunday. I'm hoping the merc fairs better.

 

I've got 2 famlies headed up here right now. Looks like almost 30 people here at my house for a few days...typical Asian family now

 

Johnny, I'm worried! Friends that don't know you are calling me asking if your ok. They say its not looking good. I'm worried, update us here so we no your OK.

 

Good luck to all you guys.
Make sure you haven't forgotten anything. Your in my prayers.

 

That storm looks pissed...





You guys stay safe.
I'll mention you all to the Creator.

I sure am glad I live up here...
You couldn't pay me to live in the path of those things... It seems like it's not IF, but WHEN...
Like living on railroad tracks...or, remember when Gomer Pyle let that family move into the shack on the bombing range? Like that...

Maybe it'll turn South and wipe out some Mexican factories, and we can get some of our jobs back...

Best of luck. I mean it.
Check in when it passes and let us know you're safe.

My door is always open.

If any of you guys down there need to come as far as KC area, I have room.
PM me.

My dad's in the same boat (pun not intended, hopefully) out in Bayport @ the Syngenta Plant. he's the head of the Emergency Response Team, so he's always in the middle of shit like this (plant explosions, as well) Still doesn't make me worry about him any less . My fam in League City is out and in various stages of getting here.
We'll get through this if we stick together and I know we will. God bless

 

Get the hell outta there dude

 

fresh update, looks like it's headed towards galveston/LA area. it's dropped to a Cat 4 hurricane and the winds dropped to 150mph.

Projected Path as of 1:48pm today...




run if you have to

 

I spoke with TXrat this morning, he was in traffic but had the trailer loaded and was headed for the inlaws.

I told him Missouri is nice this time of year.
Just come on if you need to, we'll make room.
Same goes for all of ya down there.

Best of luck,

Best of luck you guys. You're in our thoughts here in the cellar.

 

Hope everyone is ok... =\

Friends in Houston are staying put...aparently the nativez going nutz already.

Stay Safe.

My sisters made it to Austin (with my nephew). My mom, grandma, aunt, uncle, and their kids turned around at Brookshire and went back- I am not happy about that at all
Unfortunately, my son's mom made it out-I guess when you're a worthless, unemployed drug addict, fate smiles upon you!
Not worried about wild natives-League City boasts the largest amount of registered gun owners in the US (98% of the pop ) On second thought, maybe we should be worried....

 

My prayers are with you all. If anyone wants to really get the hell out of the way, I've got room here in AL. The next one will probably head straight for Mobile though..

Looks like we may have dodged the bullet somewhat. Still going to get hit in low lying areas but could have been a lot worse. I have been on the highway since early morning helping stranded peoiple. Looks like most have gotten into shelters for the night. People left there homes with a full tank of gas and have ran out in about 75-80 miles do to the traffic backup. met a lot of grateful people today and a ton of jerks. One guy became a tuff guy when i told him that was all the gas I had. He said he'd just take my truck. He deceased when I lifted my shirt and showed him a pistol. I guess he was kidding. It's a shame how some people act. I know you act differant when you are scared, but some are jerks all the time. TP

 

TP, if ya get a chance SHOOT A LOOTER for me!!!!!!!!!Take care....OLDBEET

 

Beet, Police warned us that there were armed robberies going on . I can't believe people will take advantage of a situation like this. Mean people suck!

 

We are very fortunate because of the storm turning east. we are now forecast 1 inch of rain and some 25-40 mph winds. That beats the hell out of 100mph!

My folks got here Wednesday night at 7:20PM... they left Clear Lake at 1:00PM That is usually an hour and a half drive. They just missed the really bad traffic. I would have been wigging if they were stuck in the mess.
It got windy today but still no rain as of this posting 9:46 PM. If i wake up to no moisture I may have to turn on the damn sprinkler as we haven't had rain here for 4 weeks! I feel for the guys east of us. They are in my prayers.

 

I am staying put, but haven't seen any "nativez"...
G.

 

I really don't like hurricanes.

 

I guess you do hate them. You folks got beat up terrible. I really feel for you. It brought a sense of urgency here I think. Hope you recover from this.We are very lucky and someone else is not. I hate that. TP

 

We stayed put. Right in La Porte. Thing that sucks is we drove like 5 hrs to get to Sulpur, La. We have a friend out there. We get there relax and sleep some only to wake up to a evacuation where we were staying. So we just packed back up and drove back to La porte. Went to a friends house and BBQ'd. It got real windy and rain thats about it. My friend out in Sulphur left with us. He had to leave his 3 horses behind. His place took a direct hit cause they are right above cameron. He wants to go back but they said he cant yet. Hopefully his horses are alright. Hopefully all you other Gulf Coast Hambers are alright.
