Mb stands for milibars and it's used to describe barometric pressure

In perspective, when tropical waves form they're usually ~1010 mb, the lowest pressure hurricane was 882 mb, Katrina's lowest was 902, Camille was 900.

They're still not working and Mitch refused an offer of rental pumps.
You can rent pumps that size?
We rent a lot of equipment from rental companies in my role at work. A sales rep for one of the big rental companies in our area told me last week one of his counterparts is staged in New Orleans renting the city a bunch of large generators for the pumps that were down due to power issues. Not sure if they're renting them the pumps as well but I'm pretty sure they're at least providing power to the pumps that had power issues.

Almost a decade since a major hurricane was in the gulf. I am absolutely cutting diamonds right now.

to further this...
higher number (in the 1020s+ mb) = good weather
lower number (< 1010 mb) = bad weather
< 990 mb = fuuuukkkkkkkkkkkeeeeeeeddddddd

That storm that caused the flooding in New Orleans a few weeks ago may have been a blessing if this thing tracks the worst case right now. At least some repairs were made based on the public outcry. Can you imagine this rolling up without that storm and this being the storm with no pumps.

Please school me on mb's. For us non-weather guys what does the 900 number suggest
It's a measure of atmospheric pressure. Lower pressure means move water vapor available to pick up and drive the storm. Also, there is an inverse relationship between pressure and wind speed. Lower P, more wind.
Finally, less pressure on top of the water lets it rise up a little more having an impact on storm surge.

Houston better get ready. We all know that once they hit they shift east. Houston, LC even Lafayette needs to bunker down.
This is one of those rare times where there is no clear place to evacuate, but staying put if you're in the immediate path (48 hours) is a bad idea.
Houston folks need to go to Dallas, because San Antonio, Lafayette, and Corpus are just as shitty right now.
Does everyone remember the gridlock when Houston was trying to evacuate for Rita. What a colossal shite show that was.

cant really tell at the moment but some models are showing the storm taking a hard turn for SWLA after it hits the TX coast (someone correct me if I'm wrong) which would be really bad for all of us in South Louisiana. Good chance at the moment you wont be flying to Houston for a football game. Still a few days out so keep an eye on it

Late to the party on this one, but these storms that come up along the Texas coast have some pretty strong climatological history to be explosive. The warm water likes to pile up along the shore to get them to really fire. Brings to mind Humberto in 2007 that developed into a hurricane the fastest of any storm ever in that same spot... problem is Harvey has a lot more room to develop and almost assuredly will continue to. Hope you folks along the south Texas coast have a chance to get out of the way.
The one bright side is that the models that develop Harvey the most seem to be keeping the heaviest rains south of Houston as well, which we all know has been getting more and more flood prone in the last couple decades.

Even the most inland tracks don't have it affecting Dallas with weather by Saturday evening. Moving it up is a much better option than moving it to Tuesday.
Can't move it up and also I hate to leave my recently widowed mother to deal with it alone so I am just going to wait however long I need to.

Its hard to tell, but it'll will depend on if when it makes that eastward shift. The problem is some models have it making landfall, then swirling around back into he gulf then hitting LC. So SWLA will get the East-side then the whole shebang.

You're 200+ miles from the coast. You'll be fine, pussy.

980 mb? That's probably a weak cat 1 or a tropical storm. Not exactly something we can't handle.
