[KFDM COOP]

Without a doubt.

Still a day to early to say where it's going. In fact the new GFS model has it at Corpus late Fri. Night.

Seems like I heard this about 3 years ago.  Deja Vue!              ;D

[BLUEDOVE3]

tOUGH SITUATION. You don't want it coming in your direction, but that means it has to go towards another populated area.

Hmm, I have rooms reserved in Houston. I was predicting a landfall in Louisiana.

[Guest tchawks99]

regardless if it is headed for new orleans or Corpus everyone will be evacuated.and just like RITA all the houston and galveston people will be involved.if you think Gustav was bad, IKE traffic wise will be worse..make plans now and start getting ready..you WILL be evacuated if you live from lake charles all the way to the other side of Galveston..make plans now..

Even if it does hit Houston or Galveston we are going to take a STRONG hit....am I right Coop?

[KFDM COOP]

Depends on how strong it is. Cat 3 or higher sure!

[RonBurgundy68]

Which one is more reliable, the computer models or the noaa map?

[KFDM COOP]

None really!

New Models this afternoon are shifting west from Galveston southwestward.

Kerry:

IF an evacuation is called - can you please give me estimate of when it would be called? 

I have elderly relatives that I cannot afford for them to have to wait in evacuation lines.   

[KFDM COOP]

Thursday Morning i would guess!

[the_fanatic]

Thanks Kerry!  I appreciate it! 

I know you don't like to commit to those things...but for those of us with elderly relatives that like to still remain independent, it sure does help if we can get them on the road before everyone else gets out there. 

Ya'll do a great job!  We appreciate all that ya'll do!!

Yes

Unless it becomes a small CAT 1 storm.

Whew! That's a relief!  Taking more of a Rita ANTICIPATED track.

[KFDM COOP]

Going to be close!

Do you have a graph of this so we can see?

[Guest baseball25]

Yeah i think the shifts more west is bad it reminds me of rita's path.....This strom is going to take a north turn so the more west it goes the worse for us
