Thanks slack ... trying to figure things out for the family while my husband takes care of the farm! It's raining here now so the poor guy that they were helping is out of luck. Didn't get it all cut either.

Yes that is near us. Problem is you just don't know if your area will be stuck under a band for hours so a bulk of the rain could fall quickly and the ground should be saturated with a bunch bu then.

To reiterate how shitty the 12z Euro is for TX/LA, it has 40.7 inches of rain in Port Lavaca:
Would that be misleading data considering it is an outlier when compared to the rainfall nearby?

Got what we need should electricity be an issue and making contingency plans for a place to stay. Issue is husband always needs/wants to be close to be able to get back for any farm issues.

I live in BR and have a meeting tomorrow morning in Southeast Houston until 2pm. So I'm supposed to drive into Houston tonight and drive back to BR tomorrow after the meeting. Am I wrong to think that it's kind of crazy that the meeting isn't being postponed?

Big burst of convection around the middle.
And yeah, looks like the center is starting to warm up. Getting stronger.

Of course it would, but don't expect this Mayor to actually make the right decision. I've taken shits that would score higher on a mental aptitude test than Mitch would.

I was just reading a report that discussed how the existing track predictions should not be considered reliable at this time. They were made using data based on a weak hurricane. Obviously things have changed. You could see completely difference tracks once the models are updated.
One interesting thought they discussed in the possibility of the storm developing a strong upper level "anticyclone" that could possibly break though the pressure ridge existing inland and not stall out at all.

Gulf evacuations underway, BSEE reports
Posted: Aug 24, 2017 1:44 PM CDT

Offshore oil and gas operators in the Gulf of Mexico are evacuating platforms and rigs in preparation for Tropical Storm Harvey, according to the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) Hurricane Response Team.
The BSEE team is activated and monitoring the operators’ activities. The team will continue to work with offshore operators and other state and federal agencies until operations return to normal and the storm is no longer a threat to Gulf of Mexico oil and gas activities, a release from BSEE states.
Based on data from offshore operator reports submitted as of Thursday morning, personnel have been evacuated from a total of 39 production platforms, 5.29% percent of the 737 manned platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Production platforms are the structures located offshore from which oil and natural gas are produced. Unlike drilling rigs, which typically move from location to location, production facilities remain in the same location throughout a project’s duration, BSEE's release states.

You forgot about ordering your pizzas and ordering your Chinese food.

you will miss the storm most likely but there will be some chaos with people getting prepped

Several pumps that move 45,000 gpm could help NOLA move a lot of water, but nowhere near what they need. Moving 45,000 cfs is moving about 500 times more water than moving 45,000 gpm.

Wonder if the condo place will give me a week credit on my rental that was supposed to start Saturday.

on that note... think the NHC will start going to 2 hr intermediate updates instead of every 3 hours?
