Heard on the radio that sharks were seen by those observing the hurricane to have been lifted out of the ocean into the 'body' of the hurricane. Report was not a joke, but should be a source of great interest to fans of a certain movie series!

depends who you are talking to on the storm.
have friends who work for hpd and hfd and anyone in city and county government knew harvey was going to be a freaking [ Finebaum ] show.
neither turner nor eckles had the balls to order and evacuation because they really hadn't put anything in place since the last hurricane
sjra knew they needed to let water out of lake conroe ahead of time to reduce risk of flooding, but they wouldn't because the outside chance the rain wasn't going to happen and that would mean money because conroe is water source
addickes and barker weren't opened ahead of time because of pressure not to fill bayous and creeks downstream because they knew about the amount of rain
i.e. politics as usual. it sounds like in n.c. they are doing the right thing and giving people notice

I occassionally think of this lone house that "survived" Hurricane Ike.
From the article:
With the Gulf of Mexico at right, a beachfront home stands among the debris in Gilchrist, Texas on Sunday, Sept. 14, 2008 after Hurricane Ike hit the area.
Per the owner:
It was built to Galveston County code, he said, which anticipates 130-mile-per-hour winds on the seaward side of the county. But the elevation may have helped. Adams said he built high, in part, to get a break on flood insurance. The home sits 15 feet above ground.
“The piece of land my house is sitting on was probably one of the highest above sea level in the area, about 8 or 9 feet above sea level before we even started the house,” he said. “I think the house is about 16 inches higher than it needs to be.”

Looking at the latest Fox news report, (@ 5:40) Sir, with all due prayers, I hope you have a home to go back to. Report indicated 4 to 5 feet of rain and they are looking for it to stall out and dump inches/feet of rain to to middle Tenn and those states close. Projection-- very, very good opportunity for this thing to go to cat 5!
Edit: neighbor who works for independent weather reporting com, indicated south Texas will probably be the next week

reminds me of an article i read in the wsj about a group of people who opted to ride out katrina in the parrish court house of this small town that at the very edge of the mississippi delta in louisiana.
wouldn't leave, during the storm wished they had left, storm passes and when they open the doors to the courthouse the gulf of mexico is inches below the door jam.

Losing WVU-NCStU is a tragedy. Losing UCF-UNC is a blessing to all mankind.

I was more worried about Port Aransas at the time, and I was right to be concerned. I hate that politics played such a role in Harris County.
The rain is going to be terrible on this but I worry about the Carolina's version of Port A. We all remember Harvey from the flooding, but just like my favorite beach town, somewhere is going to get the eyewall winds of Florence and God please help them.

I rode out harvey on base in kingsville tx. The corpus christi base came over and spent the night woth us. I will be riding out Florence in my house in Chesapeake VA (just south of Norfolk) unless this thing starts turning north. Lots pf water, charcoal, dry wood, lighter fluid and food. Bigheat concern is electricity for keeping my 3 kids and wife cool, entertained and of course, watch TCU beat Ohio State. If we evacuate it will be to a friends house in Ohio. I told them if we do, my family is only bringing TCU clothing.

You are most welcome. I love my job. Thank you for the blessings but send them to the Carolinas, we should be good up here in Virginia. My house is on pretty high ground relatively speaking.

My son's football game got moved up a day to Thursday.
My family had a beach house there (or close to there in Crystal Beach) that was swept away completely by Ike. And by completely, I mean completely gone, nothing was left, with the pilings broken off at ground level. We were slated to go there the weekend that Ike came through. Seeing the aftermath in person was scary.I occassionally think of this lone house that "survived" Hurricane Ike.
