Hurricane Harvey

Glad to hear that you are all ok, wet, but ok. Now I can go milk... Hope this storm gets on out of there soon.

So nice to see you folks down south reporting in. Glad you still have power and no major damage! I'm overcast, damp, 74 degrees and very light breeze. I can see a very weak outer band running E-W right over I-20 from Shreveport to just south of D/FW. Looks like the western portion of that may have visited with @animalmom & appears that Houston & GB's area are getting the heaviest training band right now. Can't tell any defined direction of movement and though the forecasters are saying all kinds of things, I doubt they have any real clue either. Guess we'll all just have to wait and see. Hang in there folks!

Getting a little rougher here. Heavy bands one after another.

... A Tornado Warning remains in effect until 1015 am CDT for
southwestern San Jacinto County...

at 1006 am CDT, a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado
was located near North Cleveland, or 8 miles northwest of Cleveland,
moving northwest at 30 mph.

Hazard... tornado.

Source... radar indicated rotation.

If there has been one constant with Harvey, it has been his inconsistency. The meteorologists gather their data, run their models, make a prediction - and Harvey does something else. Nothing like a storm that has no real steering currents to keep a forecaster humble!

Glad you still have power. Up here we have a lot of cloud cover, it's much cooler, but no rain. On the news, they are showing 3 idiots standing on the Jetty in Galveston. Waves are breaking over the Jetty. Ya' can't fix stupid, but stupid can kill it's host and prevent breeding more.

DH and I cracked up when you said that, Bay. I've heard you say that before and it never stops being funny!

When I read Bay's comment to DH, he mentioned the Darwin Awards. His favorite was when a guy, who was nominated for the Darwin Award, said the guy who writes the awards should be castrated. SHE said, "Good luck with that one Buddy!"
