  1. I don't think surge was overblown - 30 miles of SW LA is uninhabitable marshland and if it's 20' underwater no one is gonna know. The angle with surge matters - LC apparently got lucky there. I bet Cameron and the local beach communities are gone.
  2. They're so far all good - Houston barely had 25 mph winds. My parents in East Texas very close to the border are in the western eyewall now and having some really severe winds and insane rain ... far worse than Houston. Rita did the same thing.
  3. It’s gonna destroy so much land that’ll be lost the Gulf but yea, it’s hitting about the best possible place between Houston and NO. That unfortunately means Lake Charles is going to never be the same again.
  4. Beaumont, Port Arthur, Lake Charles, DeRitter, Nederland and then many from Galveston / Houston area. But then so many around Nacogdoches and Shreveport and Longview - my parents are 30 miles from the border. They had 75 mph winds in Rita in NE Texas. Those beautiful pine forest are gonna be decimated.
  5. I know so many that are gonna be devastated by Laura and I can do nothing to help. I’m kinda distraught.
  6. Is that a prolonged stretch of low, low 80s (at best) and lower-than-normal humidity I see next week???
  7. The issue there is it’s nothing but oil refineries. Nearly all gas comes from the PA / Texas City area.
  8. Forecast high: 90 Current high: 94 Winds pretty gusty too - up to around 25 mph.
  9. FWIW my family isn't evacuating - they live between Houston and Galveston and then about 8 miles east of Galveston itself.
  10. Wind just really picked up here even though the storm is tracking slightly north. Must be some big outflows going on.
  11. The tiniest little cell just popped over Enola. Lots of deep thunder heard in the city. Then, we have some rain happening!!!!
  12. Laura is gonna he trouble for me fam. Then it’s gonna come flood parts of PA, I’d bet. Also @Voyager is having rotator cuff surgery today. I know 3 people who’ve had it - one did the therapy to a T, the others didn’t. The others never recovered fully while the one who did it is totally well. Do the PT!
  13. Hey neat Laura is looking like it’ll possibly my family directly. Awesome.
  14. Family all along the Texas coast and a sis-in-law right north of Fort Lauderdale - I'm most definitely paying attention.
