Thanks. I’m in Bay County FL. After Michael in October 2018, everything else is not worth getting excited about. We installed hurricane shutters on the house earlier this year. That being said, we’ve got food, fuel, water and sanitation covered. May dash out and grab some ice if it looks like we’re going to be hit.

Living on the Ms. Gulf Coast we are watching this closely.

It seems that some years the gulf funnels every storm over us. Until the storms make land fall no one really knows where they will hit.

I hit the grocery store here in HOU just to stock up on a few favorite things, already have the basics more than covered.. It is always fun to watch folks wait until a day or two before to get any supplies from groceries to plywood to you name it.

 

CAW!



Stand by for the NOLA democrat invasion......:taped:

 

I havn't seen anything much but tropical storm and maybe a bit more... but things can change quickly. The issue is there for flood risk areas but storm damage should be minimal for both storms hitting the US

the thing to look out for is depression interaction re: irma/katia... I'd be suprised.

 

And one behind them off Africa, has not been named yet and may never form.

This is the best site for updates.

Two likely hurricanes inbound Marco and Laura.

Seems like if one is Marco, the other one should be Polo.

Or if one is Laura the other needs to be Rob. (Petrie)

 

Both storms are shifting West a bit.

 

I am in coastal Mississippi and we are a little concern. We live in a RV. But the names sound like a couple in a soap opera.

 

Usualy RVs are on wheels...move it or at least get it ready to move.

 

They said there is some upper level wind shear, that should prevent too much strengthening.

Watching Home Depot is more accurate than the weather


When they run out of plywood, its time to get concerned! :

 

The lumber industry was already short of wood before any hurricanes this year.

People have been complaining they can't get the normal sheathing to build houses and are switching to thicker plywood.

 

Looks like a helluva 1-2 punch coming for the gulf states.

We got tropical storms Marco and Laura bearing down on the gulf coast. Right now I am doing the preparations. The cone for Laura shifted to the west away from and I hope the prediction holds and few sorry for those to the west of me. Now to the store for gasoline for my generators.

 

CAW!

I'll trade ya Laura for Marco.....:taped:

Looks like they are both heading toward NOLA....:

PK is gonna have more democrats come visiting.....hahahahahah

 

Of coarse I have week rental on the coast next week for some fishing. Great timing

 

Just take a dip net....should be plenty of "flying" fish!

 

We have friends in Tn. Beautiful area. We need a bigger closet for our preps.

 

I just hope we don't get all the NOLA trash if New Orleans is affected. We got the dregs of the whole city, a more entitled bunch I have NEVER met, after Katrina. People honestly expected free food, housing, utilities, etc for the REST OF THEIR LIVES because they had been through this.

I only met one decent human out of this, he used his FEMA money to rent a cab and buy a gps (this was 2005 after all) and parlayed his earnings into next week's lease, etc. until he was independent of all government assistance.

So really hoping we don't have to deal with that again. IMO it looks like at least one if not both storms will hit New Orleans.

 

Wow, Marco is headed to Louisiana now according to the weather weasels.

 

There's common saying about Louisiana; "Half of the state is under water and the other half is under indictment." After Marco on Monday and Laura on Wednesday arrive that may need updating.

 

My ex-wife is named Laura...what a beech. hope this storm isn't anything like her

 

Two Hurricanes in Gulf of Mexico

Looks like parts of Texas and Louisiana are about to get a double whammy. Just in time for school to start back. Hopefully people will not end up in crowded shelters, what could be the worst to happen in a global pandemic.

Did some work on my generator
Filled up a couple of 5 gallon gas cans
Currently charging the LED lanterns - they stay charged anyway, just topping them off
Going to charge the batteries I have around the house

Looks like we are in for a heck of a week.

Best of luck with it all Kev.
If ya loose power for several days we will try to keep the forum goin until you get back.... not promising anything though :thumb:

 

Yay! Going to be awful in Houston this week.

Here's to hoping I can get a 3 month on the blood pressure pills before this all goes down. I have been restocking canned goods so they are good and I always have plenty of water.

I went to work and stocked all my inventory so there is little left for management to steal like they did during Ike.

Nope. Kev can control his own threads just fine

 

1 of my favorite youtube channels, an older couple Danny and Wanda of Deep South Homestead lives just 30 miles north of the gulf coast right outside of Wiggins, Mississippi.

They are battening down the hatches. They put in a 16ft wide, 12 ft high, 30 ft long high tunnel/greenhouse back in Feb and started construction on another 1. Plus had 2 1 acre ponds dug about a month or so back. Hopefully their ponds get filled in but I hope their high tunnel/greenhouses and all their gardens handle the storm alright.

 

Marco siting off of mobile will make landfill about Monday evening as a tropicalstorm on LA TX. Laura off of cuba now will hit LA likely as a tornado a couple of days later as a hurricane

 

This is why I think we need to dig a seaway through Mexico. Flush that damn hot water out of the Gulf and greatly reduce the annual Hurricane power source.

That heat energy needs to leave the Gulf one way or the other.
Either via a harmless steady ocean current, or it will blast our coastal cities with hurricanes annually UNTIL THE END OF TIME.

Build it once, cry once.

 

CAW!

welp, lil marco was a nuttin burger.......

lettuce sea if the wench laura can do nuffin tew........


hahahahhahaha
