OT Hurricane

I've just finished checking data coming from the buoys in the Gulf of Mexico. Since I live in Mississippi I checked the one nearest to where Huricane Katrina came in 3 years ago. Seas are 15 feet. Flooding started yesterday.

I checked the buoy at Galveston Bay and they also have 15 feet seas. The buoy nearest the hurricane is registering 30 feet seas.

These were the same kind of readings I got when Katrina was heading this way. From the weather reports I've been listening to all night this storm is approximately 380 miles across with hurricane force winds 100 miles across. This storm is bigger than Katrina, something I thought I would never see or hear in my life time.

I pray that all our friends in Texas are safe and out of harms way.

Kate, the projections have Ike headed directly to Ohio. Now isn't that something? Polly

I have never seen on the doppler a hurricane this big in my life. I am praying constantly for those along the gulf, and especially TX.

Hey Polly:

I called all the Yankees I know and told them to get off their butts and head for high ground. I really doubt they will heed the warning.

Amen to that! We've had our occasional ice storms up in "Yankee-land", but we'd never move into Hurricane Alley, even if it was warmer! (Snow you can shovel or snowblow outta the way - flooding you can't!) Hugs and prayers for all of you in Ike's path! Stay safe and head for high ground. ME-Judy

Kate -- what is the best online source of weather (specifically for hurricanes) info... radar maps... etc on the web? Where do you find the buoy information... I find that fascinating!

Thanks...

Howdy!

Some did. We're getting hundreds of people showing up at the shelters here in n.Tx., w/ more on the highways headed this way. The camper parks are filling up, the price of gas is inching up again, and there are reports of price gouging (hotel/motels, camp supplies). All this while the Winter Texans are/were heading south on I-35, to the Rio Grande Valley. Ike is heading "home" (Eisenhower was born in Dennison,Tx., north of Dallas). The weather channel is droning in the background while I quilt w/ an audiobook.
