KFDM COOP Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Posted August 4, 2008 Radar above shows the Storm center moving W/NW..Landfall looks to be close to our area after daybreak Tuesday. Hopefully it will stay disorganized.
HoopInsider_Cooper Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 Got caught with the proverbial "pants down" on this one!!! >
Bulldog92 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 Got caught with the proverbial "pants down" on this one!!! > It looks pretty good right now and could very well be a minimal hurricane once it comes in. It's probably 5-10 miles off of the SWLA coast and probably will make landfall very close to the border. For some reason, storms like that area the past few years. Good luck to everyone down there. Stay safe....
tvc184 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 Right now it looks like landfall right up Sabine Pass or very nearby.
KFDM COOP Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Posted August 5, 2008 Edouard makes Landfall near Sabine Pass as a strong T.S.
adminbaberuth Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 My paper was still readable, gust probably around 35 mph here in Nederland. Lights are flickering, could go out any moment.
td Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 what are the odds of this thing hitting us head on? I will take head on rather than just to the west of us and it looks like just to the west of us is what is happening.
KFDM COOP Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Posted August 5, 2008 Center went across Sabine Pass and West Beaumont...I'm getting 50 MPH winds
td Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 So far so good here in Orange. Just a little wind and not much rain but I guess the rain will be coming. The thoughts of high winds will keep and Insurance Agent up at night.
KFDM COOP Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Posted August 5, 2008 ...Some heavy rains likely today.
Gasilla Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 So far we still have power here in O'Town (knocking on wood and crossing my fingers).
td Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 ...Some heavy rains likely today. I thought the rain was coming. Easier to deal with than the wind.
td Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 So far we still have power here in O'Town (knocking on wood and crossing my fingers). Gasilla answer your phone or just call me at work.
Guest etbu Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 We are getting pounded in downtown Houston. 8) Hope all are safe.
Bucof2010 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 Lasted just long enough that we don't have to work today. Haha
td Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 Sun is shining and a little wind with no rain in Orange. At least for now.
