Then they will begin more extensive preparations for Claudette.

Hey Ticka,

I trust you are prepared.
How are your sinuses?

Looks like she has started her west turn:

She looks to be getting better organized AGAIN!

Take care.

Peace

I always love it when you bring good news!!! :roll:

We just had our first outer rainband go through about 10 minutes ago. Guess I better go finish the outside preps-bringing in all the crap in the yard. I knew it would bite me in the arse before I finished my painting!! AARRGGHH!!!

It does seem to have started a westward track. With this lady it's better be prepared though! The latest visible almost seems to show an eye. The next few frames should be real interesting...

I just hope the shear doesn't let up....

A 75 mph cat-1 is bad...but a 100 mph cat-2 would be much worse..
Please stay safe everyone!

VB, I wish my neighbor across the street had the sense you had. My best friend and I came back to my place after bringing everything in at her place. The neighbors next door had all sorts of wood planks, painting materials, and whatnot up on their top balcony. They took care of their stuff cuz they knew it would get bad.

Then I went across the street and tried to ask the guy there if they were going to bring all their stuff in (bikes, one of those little plastic toddler jungle gyms, barbells, grill, chairs, and plenty of hanging plants). He said, "I've never been in one of these. I'm not scared. I'm okay." I tried to explain, "Yes, we're going to be okay. But that stuff can get picked up by the wind and blow all over everywhere. It can fly through your windows or mine and hit cars and people." He said, "Oh, it's okay. Everything's okay."

Alrighty, it would help to mention that he's Mexican and hasn't been through a "tormenta" before. Neither have I. But he's bilinqual -- the only one in his family. I thought I could make him understand in the simplest terms. 1) His stuff might get lost in the storm, 2) it's a potential missile, and 3) if it breaks my window, I'm gonna be peeved.

I guess I can just pray for the best. At least, I'm sure those weights won't fly.

(They won't, will they????)

From the looks of that radar, she's just a tad north of Corpus, even if she keeps heading west (at least, that's how it appears to my untrained eyes). So I'd say if she continues W (shyeah, right...like she'd do that), she'll hit just north of CC.

Sheesh, I need to get to bed.
