she wanted to go back to galveston but my dad talked her out of it. i just wish the traffic lanes start moving faster because by the looks of it it gonna take lots of hours for everybody to leave the traffic (sigh)
I have my uncle and 2 cousins still in Galveston because "they want to keep looters away." So at least your Aunt is driving out. I'm not worried though because that happens is supposed to happen so it.
I'm worried as but there isn't much that anyone can do now but wait.

Don't worry, they'll get out before it gets here.
i hope so.
I keep praying this thing weakens. Whoever it hits, is fuuuuckked.
I emphathize, but I don't know what you expect from people posting in a thread about the hurricane. My girlfriends family is in Houston right now. It is hitting close to all of us.
But, I'm going to post hurricane related information in this thread; I'm not going to turn it into some knock off thread. Thats what the Quattro is for.
They showed a simulation of what will happen to the Galveston/Houston area if this thing hits Galveston head on a while ago on Fox.
Galveston went from being a large island to a sliver of land about 10 square city blocks
Oh my god! How could I forget that it's all about you?!
Now now.. no need to be nasty..
I can sympathize. I went about 4 days waiting to hear from relatives after Katrina. At least you know that they will be getting out.
hot, you boutons...Hey asshole, it is trof.

Don't worry, its a meteorlogical term, not Anglo-Saxon.
Unfortunetly, the rest of your posts still suck ass.
Good.
Now, best of luck to you all hopefully this weakens and has minimal effects.
Stay well.
Well I hope the Flower Gardens don't get damaged... they are deep at 70+ feet but are salt domes... so I big storm could cause some damage...

Are those the 2 things I always see depicted in the Gulf as islands? Damned if Mandy and I weren't trying to figure out wtf that was on the maps.
Nope, the 2 things we noticed are near 90 degrees and 25 degrees. Damn for a second I thought you had answered my question.
There are some sunken ships and artificial reefs in the area. Mostly closer to shore.
At the Marine park commercial ships have to go around the area.. Also it could be them just with a false label?
I don't know for sure, but Jess and I are searching all of the internets. We'll find out something.
Vash, they are the 2 bumps right in the middle of the damn Gulf. Any idea? I hate not having an answer, but this is hard to come by. Maybe an underwater Area 51???
If anyone wants to watch a Houston TV station, here is a link. Kinda like WWLTV out of NOLA.

Those black splotches in the center between yucatan and Louisiana?
Maybe it's a trench left over from that Yucatan crater ELE event?
Watching the feed, they are talking about TXDOT gas trucks going around to help the people who have run out of gas. This is pretty crazy. Basically giving away gas.
I would say it's the biggest human evacuation in the history of mankind?
Here is another interesting site... Oil Rigz..

Okay, if I'm reading the 06UTC loops of the NAM and the GFS they both show that it does stall a little bit when it gets inland, but then they show it drifting off to the east after that. Can anyone confirm this so I know I'm looking at the right thing?
