Mallette Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Folks in LA should batten down the hatches. This has gotten worse over the last six hours. Potential for hurricane force winds to south of Shreveport! TS force winds here in Texarkana. Whole area is already going to be soaked from Marvin, so serious flooding quite likely.

CECAA850 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 This thing has been projected to hit from Corpus to the Florida pan handle. Beaumont has been in the crosshairs several times and then the path moves. I really think having 2 storms so close to each other is messing with predictions. They have no previous models to go by. Everyone from TX to FL needs to be on alert and begin basic preparations. We started yesterday and will continue this evening after I get home from work. I hope all our prep is for nothing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Marvin or Marco? Any case, thanks for posting this. On alert here just south of big bend, on the gulf coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted August 24, 2020 Moderators Share Posted August 24, 2020 Marco is brutal, I got a little sunburn yesterday. They don't have a clue where they are going it seems, there are strong shear winds blowing most of the rain north east of the centers, no wrapping around like normal. Marco Is right off our coast and we finally got some clouds this morning, no rain yet. Laura will be worth watching, could be a 3 before it goes on land wherever that may be? .

billybob Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Rain starting again today. Would like a little more wind just to blow away the bugs. Thanks Dave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted August 25, 2020 Moderators Share Posted August 25, 2020 Unless something changes it looks like the LA/TX border and wind speeds of 110+. If this stays the only good part is TX will be on the western side, that's a little help, not much but anything is good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks like it's going to hit in the exact same spot. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may end up at my daughters house in Conroe. Shoud be marginally better there. If it was cat 1 we'd stay but not for a direct hit from a 3 or over. We'll decide in the next 24 hours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was on the coast of S.C. we chose based on the same basic criteria. 3 or over projected, we were gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife was trying to conceptualize what a cat 3 would do to the house. I told her to imagine putting our house on a trailer and towing it 120 mph down the highway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always, you have to be or your crazy, over a certain point and were not going to be here, you can't save anything by staying.
