kicker Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 It seems Orange County is being spared. Is this correct and if so, will it continue?? No, the Gov. is still sticking to 17ft surge. We just got off the 930 conference. When the winds change to SE it will come. NWS is predicting us to start getting hurricane force winds at about midnight and sustain for 6 hours.

adminbaberuth Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Yes still a long ways to go! Our lights are about to go here in Iowa, La. Wind is picking up.
HoopInsider_Cooper Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Jim Cantore (TWC): "We are still getting winds out of the north here in Galveston. When they finally come from the southeast, 'Katy, bar the door.'....."
Guest kosmo Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Good ole Cantore. Somebody needs to get that dude a weather oscar. Does his drama switch ever turn off?
HoopInsider_Cooper Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Galveston now getting peppered. 115 mph gusts now....
Bucof2010 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Were in Beluxy and I can't believe how hard the wind has been blowing ever since we got here last night it has been whipping.
adminbaberuth Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Good ole Cantore. Somebody needs to get that dude a weather oscar. Does his drama switch ever turn off? If you flip to fox, Geraldo is giving Cantore a run for his money, or Oscar.
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Galveston is getting the biz right now, i just saw TWC. wow. I sure hope that seawall of ours in P.A. holds up.
Bucof2010 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Did you'll see Geraldo getting taken out by that wave? It was pretty hilarious.
Guest kosmo Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 I forgot about that cornhole. He is a drama queen himself. Good ole Cantore. Somebody needs to get that dude a weather oscar. Does his drama switch ever turn off? If you flip to fox, Geraldo is giving Cantore a run for his money, or Oscar.
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 I thought Geraldo got swept away by Gustav? I guess he swam back only to get taken down by IKE.
westend1 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Starting to get pretty gusty here in Beaumont. Got a little water blowing in under the french doors.
NDNWarrior Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 The local news is saying there is hardly any rain or wind in the Golden Triangle. They said this is very minimal. Will we be able to return home tomorrow? I live in Groves.
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 its there! cantore got the heck outta dodge just now.
HoopInsider_Cooper Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 It's storming now...I would wait to reserve judgement until Saturday afternoon when Ike is gone... This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up
NDNWarrior Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Ok. But its not as bad as was thought it would be, right? I've heard all kinds of reports, not sure about the validity. I live in Groves, and someone said that it was totally underwater. Just trying to weigh in my options. Thanks for the info.
snafu Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Vidor still alive and kicking with Entergy power. Not on Generator yet... Wind is picking up Rain is here..... Right at normal South East Texas Summer storm conditions....
Gabe Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Just talked to a friend in Groves and he never got close sayings its underwater. THe only thing that has gone out on him is the cable. He said he even "spit" on Ike. Then again, hes a weirdo and doesnt realize the worst is yet to come.
Gabe Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Good ole Cantore. Somebody needs to get that dude a weather oscar. Does his drama switch ever turn off? If you flip to fox, Geraldo is giving Cantore a run for his money, or Oscar. Admin come on bro, you know Geraldo is somewhere up here in the Dallas area where I am. That was a sprinkler with a fan to the side. He almost found Jimmy Hoffa though! ;D
