Hurricane Harvey - Texas Coast

Pressing-On · #1 08-24-2017, 02:07 PM

We have been issued a mandatory evacuation. Haven't ever had to leave before.

Pray for the Texas and Louisiana Coast. The Hurricane is projected to move Southeast back over the Gulf and turn NE into Louisiana.

They are projecting a Category 3. We are on the dangerous side of this.

Thanks and Adios!!!

Be Safe, Cat 3 usually isn't anything to worry about.

I'd be pumping air in my rubber ducky floater, and putting on some swimming trunks.

We stayed during a low Category 2 and many houses had trees fall and destroy their roofs. I think that 130 mph winds (CAT 3) is pretty strong. lol!

if they are asking you to evacuate, then yeah, the sooner the better to avoid traffic jams.

I live in Florida and we ride them out, but will leave for a 4 or 5.

It isn't so much the wind category as it is that the storm is trapped between two high pressure systems causing it to stall out and dump loads of rain. It is supposed to dump rain for 6 days, at least.
