Was Ivan the hurricane that had Thunder Horse get loose? Buoy 42001 recorded 60/70 foot waves before it stopped signal.

TX is proactive. They'll be fine. Lots of resources in TX and they have always invested heavily in infrastructure


Not positive of everything that's going on, but there are 700 National Guard folks in route to the coastal areas already. At least 16 mobile kitchens in route. Texas may not be loved by everyone east of here but the state government has their shite together usually.

Texas National Guard on the way!

Glad Harvey wasn't 10 hours slower.

What do you mean by this? Are you referring to the potential intensity?

Harvey looks like he's going to be intensifying right into landfall. Rockport or whoever catch the right front eyewall are going be for a hell of a ride. Could very well have a strengthening Cat 4 on top of them.

At least that wind field is narrow.

No doubt. In BR? I thought it was horrible, I've lots of family and some friends there and own a house in pecan creek. A few of them lost everything. So, of you think I'm underestimating what we face you're wrong.

Thanks for the prayers. I have fam in Swla as well and they aren't out of harms way either. A lot of people are in big danger. If you pray now. Is the time.

I believe Ivan had multiple waves over 90 feet.


That's hard to imagine


That's what took out the Escambia Bay bridge east of Pensacola.

The Public Safety center there is only 4ft above sea level and about .25 mile from the bay area. Going to be a life changing event for most of the people in the area.


Couple of homes on the bay

I am in Houston and manage an engineering firm that works with both the City and the Harris County Flood Control District. You are underestimating this event.
