Yeah that was kinda the point I made (that he responded to). When HTS responds somewhere we bring enough travel fuel to refuel all the trucks at least once without stopping at a station. Most of the trucks are diesel so we keep two 100 gal aux tanks with road fuel, the other two aux tanks have off road for the generators. If one of us bring a gas burner we bring a minimum of 30 gallons. Our concern is getting there, sometimes stations are closed or without power. When we leave most stuff has been restored and fueling wouldnt be a problem.
But with an EV those people would be screwed.

Track near Jamaica is very similar to Hurricane Dean in 2007.
I'm not saying damage will definitely be as bad as it was for Dean, but it will still be bad. Dean was a bigger storm.
Read the Dean aftermath report below to see what it may be like...

In Jamaica, flooding was reported on the east of the island, and mudslides occurred on the northeast coast.[45] In Kingston, buildings collapsed[46] and houses had their roofing torn off by the strong winds, which felled trees and lampposts. A shoot-out between police and looters occurred in the parish of Clarendon.[45] Over 1,500 roofs were lost, primarily to the hurricane-force winds.[47] 3,127 houses were heavily damaged, 1,582 of which were left totally uninhabitable.[48] Two-thirds of the homes in the southeastern parishes of Clarendon, St. Catherine, and Kingston/St. Andrew sustained significant damages.[29] One man was killed in Clarendon by a collapsing roof, and a 14-year-old girl in Whitehorses, St. Thomas was killed by rock damage to her home.[49] A third Jamaican was killed when he was struck by flying debris during the height of the storm.[50]
Hurricane Dean affected 248 roads: 10 were blocked in the Kingston metropolitan region,[51] 14 sections were blocked in St. Andrew, 43 were blocked in St. Catherine, 8 were blocked in the Western Region (Saint James, Hanover, Westmoreland, and Trelawny), and 110 were blocked in the Northeast region.[52] Furthermore, the road from Kingston to the airport was covered in sand, boulders, and downed power lines.[17]

Yeah, that sounds like a good plan for everyone in Houston. But those fricking EV’s!

A good friend lived near Beaumont for Rita. She, her husband and her mom with Alzheimers evacuated north. Their house was destroyed as were all but two of the hundred + pine trees around the house. They stayed in a spare house that cousins owned up by Tyler.
My friend had to deal with the loss of her home, but worse was her Mother's mind. Her Mother complained several times a day, every day Why are we up here,. I want to go back to your nice house." and on and on and could not remember that it was destroyed. Never did.

I have step family that lived in Cameron. They evacuated from Rita to my house in opelousas, and then didn't leave for 5 years because they lost absolutely everything but the clothes they packed and had zero money.

Or they can sit in their Teslas running AC and not breaking a sweat because that's how electric cars work. You only lose 2-4 miles of range per hour of running the AC.
eta: In an extended power outage you're screwed if all you have is an EV. But for an evacuation vehicle, it's fine.

Gotta go for a while. Good luck to Jamaica that it is not too bad.

Seems to me the GFS and Euro call for a non strong storm going into Mexico, but every other Model that trends higher has it going further north into texas every new run.

Which begs the question, can you charge an EV from a home generator?

The storm is compact enough to keep the wind offshore. But the flooding will be brutal.

Stronger = farther north

The GFS is initiating like 20mb of pressure too high. Will this get fixed in the next run?

Any impacts to Louisiana expected?

Yes, that's what the US Forest Service does with the Ford Lightning trucks they were forced to drive after the virtues were signaled. They haul a generator into the wilderness, and when the truck runs out of juice they fill the generator up with gas and use it to charge the truck. True story.
The Federal government wants the Forestry Service to be 100% electric by 2030
or some nonsense. Nevermind that they operate in the wilderness miles away from any source of electricity.

Nope. It's been that way since the beginning, due to the GFS being a low-resolution model having a hard time with a smaller storm like Beryl, from what I understand.

Looks like it’s slowly creeping north for Mondays location.
