Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

We have been issued a mandatory evacuation. Haven't ever had to leave before.

Pray for the Texas and Louisiana Coast. The Hurricane is projected to move Southeast back over the Gulf and turn NE into Louisiana.

They are projecting a Category 3. We are on the dangerous side of this.

Thanks and Adios!!! :highfive

Send me some hurricane rain in a bottle! Be safe!

Re: Hurrican Harvey - Texas Coast
 

My husband wants to leave in the morning, when the tropical winds are getting here. Ugh! And, thanks!

Re: Hurrican Harvey - Texas Coast
 

Hurray for him! He must like excitement like me!

Re: Hurrican Harvey - Texas Coast
 

Yea, it's real exciting. LOL! We haven't started boarding up the house.

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

Be Safe, Cat 3 usually isn't anything to worry about.

Re: Hurrican Harvey - Texas Coast
 

I'd be pumping air in my rubber ducky floater, and putting on some swimming trunks.

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

We stayed during a low Category 2 and many houses had trees fall and destroy their roofs. I think that 130 mph winds (CAT 3) is pretty strong. lol!

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

if they are asking you to evacuate, then yeah, the sooner the better to avoid traffic jams.

I live in Florida and we ride them out, but will leave for a 4 or 5.

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

It isn't so much the wind category as it is that the storm is trapped between two high pressure systems causing it to stall out and dump loads of rain. It is supposed to dump rain for 6 days, at least.

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

Prayers of safety for you PO and anyone else in the path of Harvey!
We live about 70 miles inland from the MS Gulf Coast so 3 or better
makes me wanna get goin! :p

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

I'm praying for you all sis.

I know I'm just a current of air change away, from my own hurricane.

We have to pray for each other. I can't leave because of my animals, and I wouldn't be able to transport them in the event of a storm.

I'm praying for you all in Jesus name

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

Waiting it out in Houston. When it rains it never seems to flood in our neighborhood. And there's a few water things... ditches? IDK... that run through the neighborhood. They are always empty.

Outside of the neighborhood is another story...

Only positive to being pulled from work... I would have had to work during the storm. Maybe the building at the old site will be destroyed as a testimony against them... MWAHAHAHA! Sorry... sometimes I really get into the Old Testament.

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

Keeping you all in prayer, be safe in Jesus name.

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

See, I have been wanting to move to Texas for a few years now, but the tornadoes and hurricanes scare me. I live in California, where there's only one major earthquake every 20-40+ years or so.

Be safe

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

It's really not so bad

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

It is here in Hurricane alley.

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

I don't know. The possibility that I might have to repair my house almost every year... but I have family there on my father's side, and I like the land among other things, so I'm seriously considering it.

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

What area?

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

My family live near Longview Texas. Was looking at places near Dallas, but have been looking at and weighing my options in other areas.

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

Will you need employment? Houston has many opportunities in the medical field, and oil and gas.

Austin is like liberal CA Jr.

Don't know much about Longview or Dallas. FloMo (Flower Mound) is supposed to be nice.

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

Pressing Iron,

You guys be safe! My son who works offshore is home right now but supposed to be in Lafayette Louisiana next Wednesday for some training. I wonder what the weather is going to be like there then......

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

Dallas and even Longview have nothing to fear from a hurricane. Up here in north east Texas the only concern is tornadoes, but most everyone has a tornado shelter.

Last St Patrick's day we had a supercell form right over the house, pond out front was literally whitewater going in a counterclockwise circle. Took part of the roof off my barn, had 2x4s 8-10 ft long embedded across the pasture four feet deep. Thing walked right down the county road headed north, then turned east and went into town.

Here's a video someone from in town took as it formed. They are looking west-southwest. The left half of the shelf cloud in the video was directly over my house.

Here's another video, this time from south east of my location looking east-northeast. At 1:47 I believe the camera is pointing directly towards my house from about 20 some odd miles away (language advisory halfway through as a funnel cloud rolls through the cameraman's area):

Fun!

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

Fun?!!?? HAHAHAH! Did you take those videos?! You're CRAZY!! Or....I'm just spoiled and soft due to living in California. :heeheehee

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

Esaias,

Why are there so many cameras pointed toward your house?

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

What part of CA?

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

No, I didn't take the videos, I found them on YouTube. For us, everything took about 15 minutes and it was moving on. We didn't even have time to get to the shelter before it was over. Lost a big pine tree next to the house, thankfully the top half landed in a pasture and not on the roof!

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

Everybody keeps an eye on the black helicopters hovering overhead.

*cue the X Files music*

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

In the Bay Area, close to Central California.

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

I'm from somewhere south of Fresno, north of Bakersfield, a little to the west, off of CA 43.

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

Very light rain fall over night. Harvey downgraded to a Cat 1, still hovering over Victoria. West Houston experiencing heavy rain, expecting 1-2 inches per hour.

Calm and quiet over hur, eas side representin'. (JK.) But it is calm and chill here.

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

thank you for posting Houston glad you are ok, what about Esaias and PO's areas?

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

I'm sure Esaias is fine. PO stated that she had an evacuation order. So, I assume she is dry somewhere.

Satellite is cutting out and there's still nothing going on here, so I'm annoyed. I'd rather watch the news on this big screen "monitor" than on the iPhone. Wonder if McDonald's will be open. I could go for some cahfee.

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

And maybe a sausage biscuit.

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

I live about 30 miles south of the Oklahoma border, so we're fine. I've been trying to get ahold of family down in Texas City but either the phones are down or they are sleeping in late.

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

Ha! I posted that and within 10 seconds got a text from my cousin saying they were fine.

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

This weather has been a disappointment.

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

Sitting outside enjoying the 17 mph winds and the light show.

Re: Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast
 

I wonder how Sister Pressing Iron (thank you CC1) is doing?

Keeping her and family in prayer.

Please pray in JESUS NAME
