My initial thoughts of Matagorda - Vermilion bay might just pan out. I have a strong feeling we aren't done with these shifts, thoughts anyone else?
Been saying Corpus to Sabine Pass for two full days now. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
I also think the models will "simma' down now", now that they are catching the trough and turning Ike northward over Texas (instead of barelling west into Mexico). I also expect a very gradual shift over the next few days to the right. The timing here will be critical and could make a big difference in the end.
Sorry Ed, but it looks like a trip to the beer cooler for you.
WRT to Galveston - as Jeff L. said, they will make the call tomorrow. But with the track likely shifting right now, that would put Galveston in a warning when one is issued. So yes, I do expect tomorrow a mandatory evacuation will be issued for Galveston along with contraflow and the whole nine yards.
My nephew is deploying with FEMA from Iowa down here to Texas (imagine: five firefighter/EMT/Paramedic types riding in an ambulance down here from Iowa). The only problem is - they don't yet know where they are going!!
