Terrebonne is looking to close the floodgates.

Due to TS Beryl, the TLCD will begin closing the following floodgates beginning mid-morning: Grand Bayou, Humble Canal, Bush Canal, Placid Canal and Bayou Grand Caillou. Beginning tomorrow, the following floodgates will be monitored and possibly closed: Cocodrie, Falgout Canal, Pointe-aux-Chenes, Bayou Dularge and Houma Navigation Canal. There are no plans to close any road gates at this time. Another update will follow at 6pm today. Please visit www.tlcd.org/mobile for updated gate status.

They are probably watching the tides.

High tide is later this morning and they can use the low tide this afternoon or tomorrow to minimize the water inside the system as the system slides up Texas. Those gates can take hours to close as some of them are barge gates that float.

They pump out the water in the barge and float it into place and sink it in the channel.

Anyone remember Allison. It was a Tropical Storm that hit around Houston and stayed parked over Texas for a few days and then popped back out over the gulf and headed to SELA as a Subtropical storm. Some places in Texas received over 40 inches of rain. SELA got drenched too.

I remember that it rained so much Gouaux Hall flooded at Nicholls while I was student.


Lived near downtown Houston during Allison. At the peak of the storm, it was the heaviest rain for about 3-4 hours that I've ever seen in my life, and that includes Harvey later. I've seen snow that you couldn't see more than a few feet, but in Allison it was rain that you couldn't see more than a few feet away.

Houma and the area south is a dying town. They need to cut a canal due south from the river through Dulac and start moving people north. No primary residence south of182.

Need to do that for a lot of areas in south LA imo. Let the rivers do what they best for restoration below a certain sparsely populated geography

I created a weather YouTube Channel to help with posting some Radar Omega Screen caputures.

The homeowners insurance market will likely accomplish this without the need for a law.

Completely agree, the coastal parishes should not have primary residence on the lower half of them.

In Plaq no one should be living permanently below BC.

Woke up this morning expecting to see data with a more concise path prediction. Can't find it. Is there a good link to spaghetti models.
Weather in Rockport early morning is a bit cooler, dryer and slight wind from the west.
Looks like the best weather folks can do is target the entire coast of texas 48 hours before landfall. And we are to believe 50 ppm of CO2 will raise the world temperature by half a degree

Uh...

While I do think the models arent as "locked in" as the track densities imply, there is plenty of consensus this morning along the NHC's current track.

You're right in the firing line from the models hoss.

I’m curious what you, Boat, and RDS think but it seems like there was minimal change from yesterday’s OT weather expert consensus as well, when it comes to the latest runs on the pro models.

The models are gonna be close to right at this pont, and I dont see a good reason for them to be really off.

My only concern is little errors make big differences for who gets impacted due to storm size, track, and the potential for a right track bias if we get stronger faster.

That's why I was waiting for the 10pm update last night, b/c I figured it would be much more set once it left the Yucatan

Beryl might be turning the corner with convection firing near the center. Dry air, shear, and land interaction finally got the best of Beryl.

Seems like it could end up pretty lop sided with the northeast hitting favorable conditions while the south is taking the dry air.

Should be noted that I am a casual

Is this an indication of strength, track, or both
