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.

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!!!

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......

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):

Esaias,

Why are there so many cameras pointed toward your house?

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!
