Man I'll never forget Rita. My dad was one of the first response in that storm and they struggled with resources because the media had focus on Katrina. It really made people suffer down the spine of Louisiana.

And I guess Marco is missing Louisiana completely except the coast? And Laura is gonna frick up Lake Chuck? Any chance she shifts east at all?


Get out, small world. I grew up on Tennessee ave as well. Hey neighbor.

It does appear on most all of the reliable models that a naked swirl will be moving along the coast. Some blustery winds inland may be all some see at this point.

Hope this setup holds

JBE live now saying Laura could be a cat 3 at landfall.

Holy fear-mongering hell man!




JBE is a complete dunce, but the NHC stated this was a strong possibility in their 4PM discussion.

Ole boy from tidbits said if Marco holds together it'll push east. At least as everything stands now.

I can't say for sure but a southern track missing seems like a major hurricane is more likely than a TS at landfall. It doesn't have anything to stop it from getting stronger and it's already pretty healthy around Cuba. It actually would also hit warmer waters if it's too far south too.

Not trying to scare anyone just saying...I wouldn't trust those intensity tracks until it clears Cuba and then we can get a better idea on it.

How do you know they are conservative?




The NHC said they were conservative in the Laura discussion. They specifically mentioned the European ensembles that were east being weaker than they're anticipating.

Buddy of mine rebuilt in Cameron after Rita only to have to do it all over again after Ike. I’m sure he’s puckering right now even if he did raise his elevation. Stubborn SOB won’t ever consider moving even if it happens again.

I was once thinking upwelling from Marco would reduce this prediction, but the water is still hot in the gulf, barring that last hot tower from Marco, he may be done with strengthening. This is def possible :(

He is a dunce because he wants people to be safe?

Look “fear mongering” is used because a huge part of the population doesn’t pay attention to shite. So, to protect folks, you have them super aware. It’s not bad. fricking assholes.

I was 2 blocks north of the tracks off of Nicholson Ave. The tracks washed out and I witnessed the surge coming up the street.
10 trees on the house, 3ft of water inside.

He was just echoing what the NWS said. Slam them if you disagree.

Shut your whore mouth!


Not suggesting they'll be the same level of storm, but this kind of track with a strengthening storm will pucker some buttholes in Houston, understandably so:
