Guess again, dipshit.

The National Hurricane Center wrote:Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 120 miles from the center and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 275 miles.

Even though it's only a Cat. 2, this storm's wind field is a lot larger than a typical hurricane. That is why they are expecting the storm surge to be so high, along with widespread wind damage. The city of Houston is expected to get 90 mph winds downtown.

That's nice.

The strongest winds come on the eastern side of the eye. Highway 6 is on the far North West side.

Storm surge.... over 100 hundred miles inland ????????

The distance from Galveston to the center of Houston is about 50 miles. The distance between the northwest end of Galveston Bay and Houston is about half that.

But it gets even better than that. A simple Google map check shows that Highway 6 runs southeast to Bayou Vista (Ditch Vista for Dinsdale) which is on the Gulf coast just the other side of Galveston Island.

Ok, I don't think I asked for every stupid "Midwesterner".... to post in this thread, did I ?

Let me know when over 100 miles inland and not part of Houston.... has any relevance to Galveston Bay and the ship channel.

Please use your brains... "flyover" people.

"Little more than a rainstorm" 100 miles north, huh? Idiot.

.m2 wrote:Storm surge.... over 100 hundred miles inland ????????

That's not what I said, now was it?

The NWS in Houston is expecting water up to 9 feet deep, a mile inland, in some places in and around Galveston Bay.

The fetch on this storm is huge.

Naturally. What else could a wind-chime selling ren-fair sprite fail out of.

Radio Fan was referencing Houston and the expected 90 mph winds downtown, you cum-drunk ren-fairy. Use your head for something other than a cock-cozy you fucking half-wit.

This is Rita's storm surge. So yes, the Gulf of Mexico will be in Houston shortly.

No it won't... you idiot.

Please, tell us how this will occur.

I'll be back tomorrow when the storm surge had no effect on the city of Houston.

I've seen tropical storms in Houston that'll have twice as much rain as this Hurricane.

It’s not the rain, you fucking idiot. It’s the 50-foot wall of water being pushed northwest out of Galveston Bay by 90 mph winds.

m2,

Houston is 13 feet above sea level. If a 20 foot storm surge comes up Galveston Bay, how is it that Houston is not affected?

At any rate, you're getting schooled here in Geography, not Climatology.

He can also refer to "Monkey Balls" if he'd like. It still has nothing to do with what I was talking about.

I was talking about 100 miles inland.

Yes, a bunch of nitwits from the south and midwest are "schooling me" on Geography.

I will bet you your most expensive wind chime that salt water from the Gulf of Mexico will be found in Houston.

Bet?

What the fuck are you babbling about ?

Of course not. You’re a fucking moron incapable of carrying on a coherent discussion.

I'd almost pay money to see you try to sell wind chimes 100 miles north of the Galveston area on Saturday morning during "just a rain storm."

The NWS has hurricane wind warnings in effect 250 miles inland through 1 a.m. Sunday, dumbass.

.m2 wrote:It's rather simple...

IF the storm stays on it's present track and the east side of the storm plows through Galveston Bay as expected, why would it not have an impact? If it's "rather simple" to explain, then just make the explanation.

Good luck and Godspeed to all Texas trolls, clones, tards and fellows living in the areas Ike is targetting.

BTW-Went to Fidels a few days ago......that place is NAILZ as all hell still!

m2, 100 miles northwest where Fu and I are will suffer exponentially less than where Lefty is. Noone is really disputing that. Our risk is power outage and very slight risk of tornado. This storm is coming in close to where Alicia came in. Are you saying that Alicia, with a far smaller storm surge, caused little damage to HOUSTON? If THIS storm comes in around Jamaica Beach, the surge will come straight up the bay, straight up the ship channel, and flooding FROM THE SURGE could be as far inland as Pasadena, South Houston, and even to the Magnolia area. Why do you think LaPorte was evacuated?

Guess where the storm is predicted to come in? Bringing plenty of BOLTs of lightning.

To say this storm isn't going to affect Houston by both wind and surge is ridiculous. At 12 mph forward speed, you are correct in that this might not be a huge RAIN event. The sheer size of the thing might negate that, however.

Hey, m2, Baytown is getting surge flooding. Check out a map, moron...

m2, I suppose you're going to tell me that I am in a safe area as well....

Red dot is where our house is roughly located




I wish I got plywood, but was too fucking busy with disaster recovery at the office, so tape will have to do....





This street deadends into my house from the east/southeast direction. Not good.




For Mgo...This is just a cool pic I took out of my backyard during the summer...





I'm not worried about flooding as we live on an elevated lot, but that storm surge out of the bay could very will push the river and lake out of it's banks. We should be okay, but the community could be in a lot of trouble. Don't know.

If so, you don't live in Houston.

It's like the Sacramento folks saying they live in San Francisco when they travel and are asked where they're from.

Highway 6 is well over 100 miles from the Gulf and the Hurricane should be just a rain storm by then.

It's about 75 to 80 miles from my house but who is counting, right?

Good luck with the tape RF. Hope your neighbor's BBQ grill doesn't end up in your living room.
