I think he embellished the hell out of it. The NWS thinks it will go from 40 to 45 MPH winds over the gulf. Shep probably made it sound like re-strengthening is a major issue, but it isn't.

Not liking the look of radar and how cells are building near the center and streaming into Houston. Models might be missing something.


The HRRR continues to mostly miss this. The 18z 3k NAM seems to be doing a better job but hopefully it is just way over doing it...

Watching this KPRC live feed and they are riding through Ponderosa Forest in a boat. It's basically a river. What look to be expensive homes up to the roof. Some burned to the ground. shite.

The controlled release is not affecting anyone. They have said that repeatedly during the press conferences.


That's not true either. It is an additional 4k cfs of water down Buffalo Bayou. It could affect people, depending on the level of the bayou when it gets downtown.

There is a ton of misunderstanding about that release. They don't WANT it to affect people, but it can.

slackster I know we have bigger fish to fry at the moment, but what do you think about the large wave at 20-25W that just rolled off Africa?


I couldn't tell you anything about it other than it is a long ways off, thankfully.

someone posted a google traffic map earlier and it looked like a spiderweb of closed roads in every direction. I dont think theres a way out now unless he has a boat and a ride to pick him up at the edge of the water.

Buddy of mine had to leave his home in Sienna Plantation, which is southwest of Houston. He had to pretty much drive to Columbus -45 west of Houston to be able to access 10 and head to San Antonio.

10 is shut down west of Katy at this time

Probably no where to cross Buffalo Bayou anywhere. Sounds like people N of Buffalo Bayou can find a way to 290 although that was earlier and it could have changed by now.

Homes on buffalo bayou are already flooded, and the additional flow is not expected to flood any additional houses.

You can see the frustration on the officials' faces every time someone asks the question.
