I’ve got friends posting that they’re still em route to Houston from Lafayette and they left at noon. Why the hell didn’t they go east to idk, Biloxi or somewhere? I mean as of today that’s not in danger right??

Windy?

Right side of the trough promotes rising air and you have a tropical airmass incoming. Makes the showers.

That's NW of the system.
That's pretty humid all the way, wind all going one direction and not a huge difference in speed with height. So not terribly sheary and not dry enough to really disrupt things.
Would like some from higher up to get the full picture of the column of air.
The specific conversation was about the divergence of temp and dew point at the top and what it means. I'd have to go back and rewatch it to know exactly what he said.

Evacuating for Katrina, driving the south bound lanes on 55 to the 20 was the sketchiest shite ever. All the reflectors were red. No traffic since everyone was going west on the 10 but frick. I'll never forget that.

Biloxi will be fine, but no hotels due to Cruisin' on the Coast, would have had to go to like Mobile/Pensacola and hotel rooms there depending people in hotels from Sally, could have been an issue, Birmingham or Atlanta would have worked

No wind just a lot of rain in St George

He said, in the video, the split of the dew point and temp means that there is a dry air in the eye which means it’s a strong storm. If there was drier air in the eye that means the storm would be strengthening. At least that’s what I took from his video

It's so ingrained in south-central Louisianians to go west that they don't even consider the fact that Hammond would have been plenty good enough.
Granted, lots of us have family in the Houston area, but I'm not sitting in 4 hours of traffic to save $250.

But even Nola today would have been a better choice than Houston?
Idk. My in-laws wanted us to go to somewhere in Texas 5 1/2 hours away. Um, yeah no.

It hints there might be dry air coming in above that level. Which would be expected. Check the LCH and Houston soundings. I'll note, the temperature seems to increase a bit too...which would be some more stable air.
But I'm guessing without more of the column. Might be something someone with a deeper knowledge base could get more out of though.

Still ugly in Ft Morgan. Annexing from Gulf Shores is rearing it’s ugly head.

Apparently the state won’t do it because they don’t want to encourage people to evacuate west in case east Texas also evacuates. I remember there were serious problems during Rita with this. LA now encourages everyone to pack it North.
