Posted 2 months ago Ike has been heading this way for around a week now, and is aimed at New Orleans in the forecast models.

| Posted 2 months ago ok someone needs to move that hurricane magnet out of NO but not to H-town !!!!!!!! |
|
|
| Posted 2 months ago Hehe, personally I'd like to see it hit about Corpus and bring us a bunch of rain. Flooding wouldn't break my heart either. But I know there is a huge difference between our flooding and yours. Maybe it could squeeze in between yall and Corpus and come hit us? Jeff Draper

| Posted 2 months ago ok Chase1 everytime these guys here at work think the H-word is coming anywhere close ... they decied we need to work " the weekend" and get things ready for the H-word. Yes the money is nice but I need rest too lol been here since 1979 and I have rode most of the storms out and will do so for a long time to come so it really doesn't matter to me but we really dont need it to come here. not enough housing in this area as it is lol |
|
| Posted 2 months ago This may be a good reason why not to live below sea level. Hurricane Ike may finish off what Katrina and Gustav did not. It would be nice if it did turn towards South Central Texas and dump some rain but no damage......steve-0 |

| Posted 2 months ago I agree. I just want some rain to green things up, cool things off, and put a damper on our brush fires that are becoming rampant again since they lifted the burn ban for most counties. I don't want michael to have to work harder than normal. I hear ya Mike, our department freaks everytime there is any event or holiday weekend and goes into the end of the world scenario. Planning is great, but 99% of the time nothing happens and it becomes like crying wolf. Jeff Draper

| Posted 2 months ago Hope those of you in the line of Ike make out ok. Here in PA we could use some rain. I'm getting a little tired of brush fires every other day. I haven't seen things this dry around here in quite some time. Take care all of you!!!!! We make a Living by what we get. We make a Life by what we give. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago No offence to anybody. But it (IKE) can stay away from the N.Carolina coast. We were lucky with Hanna. |

|
|
| Posted 2 months ago The SMAT team I'm with will most likely go to help out. Just like Katrina. |
|
|
| Posted 2 months ago I can assure you Texas handles things much differently than Louisiana. Jeff Draper

I have a rough couple of days ahead of me...I have to tour each and every Fire House in Orleans Parish!!! It is a rough assignment, but me and my partner (and our cameras) are bound and determined to Get It Done-Right!!! Take Care All. Eddie D. Howard

| Posted 2 months ago Just be sure to get the hell out of Dodge by Friday Eddie. Be careful, them snakes are hungry by now. Jeff Draper
|
|
| Posted 2 months ago Bring it towards texas. Just the rain that is. I am with Chase let it flood. Need a change of pace. |
|
|
| Posted 2 months ago Everyone be safe and careful in the gulf. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Watch for the two legged snakes, they're even worse after a storm. Help someone is some way everyday. Standing at the ready, Tail wagging; ready to run !! |
|
|
| Posted 2 months ago LMAO. This thing is now aimed at Galveston, but is still not going to make landfall until sometime around Saturday, so it has plenty of time to stroll around whatever direction it chooses. Jeff Draper

| Posted 2 months ago Hey, i'm just giving updates. I aint steering the damn thing. Jeff Draper
|
|
|
| Posted 2 months ago This shows about a dozen forecast models of where the computers think it will go.
Jeff Draper
|
|
|
| Posted 2 months ago Which one means the highest possibility of path ? Help someone is some way everyday. Standing at the ready, Tail wagging; ready to run !! |
|
|
| Posted 2 months ago Some can be more accurate overall, but the path they end up with just averages all of these. Jeff Draper
|
|
| Posted 2 months ago That purple path is VERY interesting.............hits Pensacola, makes a U turn like it missed it's intended target the first time (N.O.).....................hmmmmmmm Ross Caston
|
|
|
| Posted 2 months ago I think you may be on to something here. Maybe that missing Atlantis magnet thing is buried at New Orleans. Look at the purple line in this outlook:
Jeff Draper
|
|
| Posted 2 months ago Uh oh! |
|
|
| Posted 2 months ago Wow....the purple on is bound and determined to get to N.O. at any cost. Now, for the orange track..........if that happens, well, just revert to the posts about Gustav! Ross Caston
