To those of us who live in the zone that TD3, soon to be a Tropical Storm, will strike, good luck, and I hope you have your flashlights, candles, saws, and bottled water ready. My wife is preparing to drive from Houston to Tupelo, Mississippi, and I've basically warned her off. If she leaves _right now_, she'll get there with just lots of rain. Otherwise, she's going to have to deal with the effects of the storm. So, she's probably not going to leave until Thursday night or Friday morning. I'd prefer Friday morning, myself.
I live just north of New Orleans and am waiting for this. Not happily, but waiting anyway. Hopefully it won't be all at once but over the next few days so flooding will not be to big a problem.
I'm south of I-10 & thirty miles from the TX/LA line. The storm, now named Cindy is headed for the Sabine river. Ought to fill up my gas tank while we still have power.
Ah, they classified it offically? When I posted, the NOAA still had it as 'THREE'. I guess we'll find out by tomorrow, won't we? Houston's right now on the dry side, but if it moves again the same amount as last night, it'll be aimed right up the Houston Ship Channel.
The projected path has already be moved further west since I checked earlier today. Now Beaumont is Ground Zero. Tapatalk Via Kyocera
Latest I saw moved the impact point back to the Sabine River - which puts Lafayette and Lake Charles on the dirty side. New Orleans has already been pounded, and has even more rain coming. Same with southern Mississippi. Heck - everyone east of Texas is looking at lots of water.
