Tropical Weather Threat For Texas

[GarGuy]

Yea, the latest ECMWF run is nuts. Comes ashore just south of Corpus/Corpus on Saturday, around San Antonio/Austin on Sunday, back to Corpus on Monday, just offshore in the Gulf on Tuesday, and back ashore around the TX/LA line on Tuesday.

Yessir. Lots of rain after the 27th

Not to mention it strengthening quite a bit before it makes it's second landfall around sabine pass. That euro run is pretty wild.

The last one I remember was Hurricane Claudette that hit the Port O'connor area in July of 2003. It actually strengthened quickly right before landfall and then moved westward across the state. It did not loose much intensity till it moved across the state. I did quite a bit of tree and roof damage in Bee County. Lot of folks lost electricity for almost a week in the smaller towns.

We lost our house in indianola to Claudette. That little house had been through a lot in 40 plus years. We had no idea that little storm would do what it did. It produced some weird stuff by the way it hit.

So what is everyone's consensus - should I board up my place in POC?

Just boarded up our camp in Sargent just in case. Doubt we needed to but better be safe than sorry. Also took anything inside of value like rod/reels etc. some losers feed on storms like this when no one is in town. Good luck and stay safe!

Your company has its own weatherman? Is he wrong 80% of the time like a regular weatherman? What area is he calling for 20"+?? I ask because I see you're not far from me!

Yep and if it button hooks and stalls it will be nasty from Austin to SA. Our lakes are already 95% plus full. No telling where this thing hits but someone is getting hammered for sure.

That's for sure! 3-5 days of rain... good thing the liquor cabinet is full.
