RonBurgundy68 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Still no shift north on the track yet right?
westend1 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 If you have a place to go, do it. If you stay, there will be no power for lord knows how many days. 1st, calm her down. This is not Armageddon. 2nd, if you have a place to go, do it. If you are going to invoke our Lord, Jesus Christ, then at least capitalize the word Lord. Oh, lordy!   :

Guest Penny Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Storm track continues to shift up the coast, just plotting on a map like an idiot, but this thing looks like east of galveston now, hope it stops the northward jogs. Could be looking at a significant storm surge. Have plans ready to get out folks.
