@@Nunya58294 No, not in the clear. It's is already raining cats & dogs now, and looks black as midnight at 3pm in the afternoon. It's so bad outside now in Houston.
@@childfreesingleandatheist8899 Unfortunately, the water is not cool. This is why we don't have hurricanes during the winter, the water is not warm enough to support their formation and/or intensity.
My first hurricane was in Corpus Christi while visiting my grandparents at 6 yrs old , the front door opened then slammed so hard I was expecting the house to fall down , my grandmother sure yelled loud enough to assure this was to be the case . They are catching up to Houston .
Lol I watched a video from Corpus & it says it's heading for Houston. I'm in Houston & what scares me is a few days without electric and 100 degree heat:(
Yeah, happy birthday, @Judy. Well, I sure hope all of you don't drown, where you can celebrate your Birthday. In Houston, we are already getting drenched by strong rain & winds.
@@CONFEDERATEHERO-ig4sg Ask Donvict to get his sharpy out to show us the path of this hurricane! Cuz he had an uncle that supposedly went to MIT and braindead Donny got smart through osmosis or something. A true clown!
Gilbert had a beneficial aspect though. In 1988, much of the south and Midwest was in a really bad drought, and its remnants brought much-needed rain to those drought-stricken area, despite the damage Gilbert caused.
You never really do with hurricanes. This one especially has defied all odds and forecast predictions. Tracking hurricanes isn't like tracking cold fronts. The slightest change can give a wildly different result.
Im sorry do you? Can you tell the future? Anything can happen due to the climate. People thought it would get stronger in the gulf but it turned into a tropical storm so pipe down lil bro 🤣
This is gonna be much bigger and badder than they ever predicted, because the waters in the Gulf are so warm. And, it's gonna stay put for good while. We're already bombarded by rain.
I know west Texas needs the rain desperately, but East Texas is sooo soggy! crazy. I'm so nervous for my kids and grandbabies, who live in a large RV east of Houston.
@@anastasiab9506 we weathered a few storms there since 1999. Just downed trees and no power. Their dad and I finally retired up north (😢). They’re gonna stay with close friends who have a couple kids if they need to. I don’t want anything to happen to their home. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Even if you are inland, southern Texas storms often cause extended power outages. The extreme heat alone is a strong reason to evacuate. Local weather stations are downplaying the storm, but as a meteorology student, I can tell you it will likely intensify to at least Category 2. Fast-moving, it will bring significant storm surge flooding and has consistently produced tornadoes. Review tornado safety if you stay. Rescuers risk their lives to save those trapped in floods. If you can evacuate, please do. Many lack the resources to leave and deserve rescue efforts not stretched thin by those who can evacuate but choose not to.
Will people stop acting like the world is coming to an end? I'm not say to be in denial, and think it "can't happen to me", but on the other hand, no need to panic either. Just be prepared. Preparation is the most important thing. If you are advised or told to leave, just do it. If not, don't. If you're prepared, you're going to get through it. May have some major inconviences to contend with, but it's better than not being prepared at all. The outcome will be better as long as you're prepared.
Look at how fast that storm is restructuring. Rapid intensification will happen how much and how fast is crucial. Hurricane Otis went from a tropical storm to category 5 in 24 hours and 5 hours before it made landfall. I'm not suggesting that's going to happen, but the conditions are there. I'm bringing this up so people can prepare accordingly and be safe.
I saw one guy mention the possibility of the storm swinging wide to the north East basically skirting the gulf coast and strengthening all the way to landfall in Florida and Georgia. He said it would be another Katrina if that happens, and one of the spaghetti’s on his model showed that path. Freaky…
they were so wrong on the path and strength from the get go. last night they said on all models the most north it would go is northern mexico now its middle to souther tx? when it was hitting the islands they said it would only get to a cat 3 then it was a cat 5
No defined eye at this stage in the game? That is weak side of hurricane scale. The way it was presented to the masses it was some kind of monster eating everything alive. Thank God for the gift of rain in the Midwest next week!
ignore the first guy. The true answer is that because of the Coriolis effect, hurricanes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise, and hurricanes in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise.
You guys are not being specific enough and telling your viewers to get their crap together immediately you are playing it down compared to every other broadcast channel and putting people's lives in jeopardy. If you keep telling people it's not going to be as bad as Harvey they are going to think it's just going to be a little bit of rain. You need to ramp it up trust me it will be better to apologize later if you said it was going to be worse than it really was so grow a pair
In this hemisphere yes, they always rotate counterclockwise. That's why it's best to be on the left side of a hurricane - the right side gets heavier rain and winds since it's coming directly off the Gulf of Mexico. If the storm follows its projected track I should be on the left side of it.
It's projected to land within an hour or two of me. I watch its track but I've got food, water, charcoal, and a nice big grill. I sat through Harvey while it also hit around an hour from where I was living. The only thing to worry about is whether you're going to leave town or not. The storm is coming, sitting around worrying about it isn't going to change anything.
So the trough is weaking which lessens the chance of wind shear so that is out. the high pressure to the east is moving east. The jet stream is lifting. It's already moved from the point of landfall over 300 miles north East in 48 hours. Moving slow so gaining power. I see it as a strong cat 2 hitting Houston at around 3or 4 am.. The eye over west Houston. I'm no expert but we still have 40 hours till landfall. And all the signs have this moving even more north East up the coast. I know you are watching this like a hawk. Maybe the powers at be just don't want people here in Houston to panic so you can't mention all the factors. But what do I know? Thanks for keeping us informed.
omg I remember few days ago, all the weather sources said " don't worry it will be a Mexico problem" then all the potential trajectory lines pointed to Brownsville, I live in Brownsville I prayed and prayed and prayed asked GOD to moved it up or down...wow praying works, I was not a very religious man, Im now
Damn thing has left a path of destruction through Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, Grenada's Carriacou Islands, Mexico and is STILL going? What happened to dissipating over land? Jeez. Go away Beryl!
And compared to the other forecasts that Are on youtube fox is being so careful And not getting the point across clearly that they are putting people's lives in jeopardy no doubt.
