RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!! THERE'S A LIGHT SHOWER COMING!!  : :

Either you were a comedian at the now closed Comedy, TX. Or you are a grade "A" ***clown. This is a very dangerous storm, and it is not going to be fun and jokes for Texas residents along the coast somewhere, including the possibility of here.

WILL YOU PLEASE LIGHTEN UP? I understand you are angry at the world, and depressed about your life and all and want to pick a fight, but I am not!!....GOODNESS!! :

Whatever,    Dick

emergency management might get a chance to find out which is more unforgivable... making us evacuate when we didn't need to, or trying to correct that mistake and waiting too long to evacuate us this time.  if this storm turns, there's going to be a lot of fallout if we're made to evacuate only a day and a half before the storm gets here.  i really hope this works out for everyone.

how far inland will a 15-20 ft storm surge reach and in Beaumont how high would the water be

I am not sure. I would think that to have a storm surge reach Bmt. it would have to be a near direct hit.

[KFDM COOP]

Cat 5 would bring water to Beaumont.

[HoopInsider_Cooper]

New GFDL model, Cat 3 - Galveston Bay

[Lefty99]

I hope that model is wrong!!!

[TNTITANS]

The Emergency Management officials better start evacuating NOW then!!

James Brown just said at noon that the high pressure would stay strong enough to keep it south...I wouldn't go into panic mode yet..

James Brown just said at noon that the high pressure would stay strong enough to keep it south...I wouldn't go into panic mode yet..

I saw that. He seemed very confident it would stay south and all we would get would be tropical storm type weather

[BCWOSfan]

They also seemed very confident Rita would land in Corpus Christi!!

[Guest DickVitale]

You mean it may actually rain?  :...I had no idea that Rita made you guys so paranoid....Good luck to all, and be safe, whatever you do.

So i take it you were out on sabine when Rita came through dickey?

[KFDM COOP]

Run for the Hills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest DickVitale]

Yeah, I was fishin'!! .. I just can't see how people are trying to tie these two storms together somehow....There are so many things that are different such as the high pressure system and such. I just am not in panic mode about this...

[GUNHO]

Where is this south location??? Everything is south of us!!!!!!!

[Bobcatfan4life]

Where is this south location??? Everything is south of us!!!!!!!

Models and forecasters are still saying Corpus area

[horndawg]

I get what you're saying... The only tie that i see is that they could possibly be cat 3 when they hit?  I wouldn't start worrying until they say that high pressure begins to disappear...

[GUNHO]

Run for the Hills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IS THIS A JOKE?
