So far only some sloshing over the tops of the levees.
]]>I really hope everyone makes it OK. Good luck everyone.
Cheers!
Paul.
The outer bands are just starting to kick in, and the wind is getting a little gusty.
]]>This is another storm as peculiar as Fay. New Orleans is still the place apparently at greatest risk; I sincerely hope and pray everyone got out of there.
BTW, a good source of Houston info for anyone who needs it is SciGuy‘s Gustav Archives in the Houston Chronicle web site. SciGuy (Eric Berger, the Chronicle’s science editor) is an enthusiastic student of tropical weather, and he writes well.
]]>We would get tornados and hail storms in Wichita Falls, Texas. It was a good way to get a car you couldn’t normally afford, if you didn’t mind some dings, but you didn’t go out in them unless you owned a helmet.
We appreciate the thoughts.
]]>Good luck all. Be smart, be safe.
]]>The only good news is that Hanna didn’t move close enough, about 900 miles, for the two storms to interact, because that situation generally boosts one or both of them.
She had to go to a school on the Atlantic Coast. She’s already seen the Pacific [we don’t have hurricanes] Coast. At least she didn’t choose New Orleans, Houston, or Miami.
At least she should own decent rain gear coming from Oregon, and tell her that only weirdo outsiders want to “experience” the wind and weather of a tropical event.
At the moment, and in the near term, it looks Hanna is just going to wobble around as a tropical storm.
]]>Of course, AirTran may solve the problem for me…
