Well, we're pretty much certain where the 'cane is going from here.

I'll get good pics if I can, but we're hunkering down. We're already getting some cloud bands, but it's not projected to hit until late tonight/early tomorrow. We should be safe from the surge, but I'm concerned for the Houston Ship Channel. Also, we've got some tall trees close to our house that draws concern. We're almost gauranteed black out, but I'm not sure how long. Will report back when I figure out I'm not dead.

My first hurricane experience, and it appears we're finally getting "the big one" that my German teacher has been predicting for a while. Should be fun!

You need to build a tree fort and live in that while the storm passes.

Haha, my house is 10-15 miles away from the predicted route of the eye at one point.

Add the fact that the trees right by my house are gigantic and dying, my house might come down. WOO.

Has anyone else viewed the pictures of the total jack asses who  are at the beaches watching the hurricane?  12 foot waves crashing and these clowns are standing in the damn ocean! Darwin awards in the making.

They are expecting OVER 20 ft surges on 18ft seawalls. Btw the cane isn't even there yet and waves are already going over the walls flooding the streets with 2 ft of water.

I'd run for the hills.

Wuss.

I went through a upper end Cat1 low Cat2 in Key West back in '99 and we just sat up in our apt and had a party.

Ever since Katrina, everyone's been all, "Ohh noez!!11! A hurricanez!@2!@12121!!! Runz fo' da hillz!!!11!1"

I've come to believe that the National Weather Services Hurrican Center are all a bunch of idiots. They never get Category strength for landfall right anymore.

I went through category 3 Wilma in Hollywood FL, so don't call me a wuss. The difference was there are hardly any storm surges in Florida because we're 6ft above sea level. In the gulf coast they are below sea level in some places.

Tallen, it's that mentality that has people trying to ride the storm out and is what will make this a total mess if they get 20ft storm surges. With the shape of that bay, the fact that there's a full moon and high tide, the storm surge is going to cause massive flooding. Hanna wasn't as bad as they thought it would be so everyone is thinking that all of the storms are going to be over-hyped by the news and government and will try to id it out, I think a lot of those people are going to be crab-food.
