tvc184 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Anybody have any idea what time we can expect the Storm Surge? Let me go ask. Some of the predictions are between 14-17 foot storm surge. I like those better than 20+. Hopefully it will stay outside the seawall and all this will be an exercise in fear.

tvc184 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Anybody have any idea what time we can expect the Storm Surge? The surge will really start increasing Friday afternoon and is supposed to peak from 3:00AM to 6:00AM on Saturday morning. So it will start tomorrow afternoon or evening and some time after midnight but before daylight Saturday, it will top out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outanup Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 First off, Im evacuating in the morning. My elevation is right below 17ft, and my location is right across 366 from sun oil in Midcounty. According to the flood zone map its one of the higher points south of I10. Im a stones throw from Smiths Bluff.With all this said, the storm surge is too big a risk factor for me to stay.Good luck to all. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelingcard Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I'm in NE Texas in Carthage. If a 20 foot surge comes in, Port Arthur goes under water, their sea wall is 15 feet. Not sure at this time on how much salt water Mid county would get! Hope everyone stays safe and i'll be on from time to time. why do you leave when a storm threatens? You leave Greg and James high and dry? I would have thought that any meterologist would love to be in a storm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasilla Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Anyone have any idea how the Storm Surge affects Nederland and Port Neches? I heard that anything south of I-10 has a chance of storm surge, the closer to the coast, the worse... Actually, what Bostwick said was that anyone South of I-10 has a "chance" of getting water. It may be 5' or 5". He also said that worst case scenario is a 20' surge. If you are 23' above sea level then you are OK. You can check how far you are above sea level @ Google Earth. Bridge City is going to get some water. Groves and PN and Ned are probably OK, unless you are in a low part of that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonBurgundy68 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Port Neches Police just came by my house and r going door to door in my neighborhood telling people to leave..... :-\ So when they say "leave" do they mean you "have" to leave or are they pretty much saying "get the heck out of here if you want to live"?

PNG70 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 He basically said they STRONGLY suggest leaving and that we could possibly receive around 5 - 10 ft of water possibly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It said somthin 2 the extent of if ur staying in a single family home that is 1 or two stories you face and I do quote "certain death." I'm in Mississippi and wind is bad maybe 50+mph according to hotel people. Can anyone tell me if Winnie will get any and how much surge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PURPLE 4EVER Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 is Liberty a good place to be? mandatory evacuation... probably can't even get a hotel room. Liberty and Dayton will probably get pounded by 100 + winds. I live in Dayton, was going to my mom's in Groves, now she is coming here and we are getting out towards Waco or Temple, maybe even Abilene. For Christ's sake... GET OUT!!!! The water is ALREADY splashing over the seawall in Galveston and the strand is already getting water in it. This could be a historic storm surge. Everything from Galveston Bay to Sabine Pass below I-10 could recieve water from this storm surge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvc184 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I left Sabine Pass at 5:45AM as we tried to get people to leave that may have stayed. There were still people trying to leave when I got out. I was in a Ford Expedition and almost didn't make it out of some areas. There were areas of Sabine Pass with 3-4 feet over the roads already. The highway to Sabine Pass was going under in a few spots when I was coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOSHIGHc/o2001 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I keep watching all of the models at wunderland.com and all of the different projections. I just asked myself why. Its coming, its going to suck, and that isn't going to change. Its sucks having to listen to something you are so strongly against, but at the same time couldn't change it if you tried.
