What's the draft on the Lexington?
It'd be great to see an aircraft carrier straddling IH37.
dubya could blow $10B to torch it for scrap.
It will tear the out of it with wind damage and some serious flooding but it won't destroy it. Port Aransas and the other stuff on the barrier island COULD be destroyed...they act as kind of a seawall for CC...CC won't get the dramatic storm surge in town that Mobile got but the island would be under water...

gonna be interesting to see what Packery Channel looks like after this...it could totally reshape the island/bay system interaction....
I would ride it out in the Lex's command tower that's fer sure.. with a plastic tub of Heinies.
wow, we got alot of meteorologists in here.
1998 was not a stalled out tropical storm.
Brett tore a hole straight through Padre Island in 99. It'll be interesting indeed.
agreed. It was one amazing July in Texas though...
2002 was July.
1998 was October.
I remember getting band after band of rain in 1998. Wasn't that a staled tropical storm? Or just a wicked front?
Just an upper level low.
So 2002 was when the storm staled?
2002 was just a lot of different factors over the course of 7-8 days.
i think 98 was in july, and 02 in october
Nope. 2002 was July, 1998 was October.
naw cuz in 98 i had an allstar game that day and it was rained out, coudln't have been october
and in 02 it was during school cuz we had to leave early, so coudln't have been july

Great Flood of 1998 - Special Coverage
Oct. 17-20
I also remember because our homecoming game was washed out.
1998 was October and 2002 was July. I remember it was the first day of July when the rain started. My parents had just bought a big screen tv the day before the rain started. I remember watching news coverage on the new tv.
well , in schert/cibolo we had floods when i described them, may not be what y'all are talking about
cibolo creek floods easily, so it could be different than what y'all are thinking
What you're talking about is confusing two different events with the wrong time dates.
Flood of 1998 was in Oct. While the floods in 2002 were in July.
You're probably right about the Cibolo creek flooding at different times, but no way can you confuse the months of those two 100 year floods.
I do not know.
Here is what I know. I know the big flood that happened like around my 8th grade year(97/98) was during baseball allstars for me, which would be in the summer. I remember good cuz all our fields were flooded over and we coudln't play anymore.
Then my senior year,01/02. There was another big flood that i left school early for(like 1pm) just in time before cibolo creek flooded the area in full again and we had no school for like 3 days. I just know that couldn't have been in the summer.
Just telling you what I remember. Cibolo Creek floods often.
Those are at even different times than what I remember. I know recall the 98 cuz i was a freshman and I remember all these kids having their books washed away.
I probably don't really remember the 2002 cuz at that time i wasn't in the cibolo area and the flood didn't affect me.
There was a Cibolo creek flood in July of 97. I remember it because it went all the way up to the railroad bridge in Schertz. The regional 98 flood was in October. The regional flood in 2002 was in July.
