Texas now on alert status

^ Not to mention the risk of tornados....

My sister-in-law lives in Bay City, TX. Since we evacuated during Ivan last year (damages) and left for Dennis last week (no damage), she's commented more than once about our evacuations, more that a little derisively. Then complained about how tired she was of hearing about the hurricanes, etc.

I have to wonder what she'll say if Emily comes a'knocking.

Edited: I did email her this morning sending her the computer model tracking. She's not very aware of her surroundings, etc. and has never had to prepare or evacuate for a storm. I'm not heartless.

Don't mess with Texas. I think Emily might ignore their slogan.....MGC

Houston just got flooded by remnents of Dennis yesterday.Its going to be VERY bad situation if Emily hits Emily would most likely bring flooding rains as far north as Dallas,too

[Shoshana]

All of Central and Coastal Texas got hit by that yesterday and will be today too. We didn't get as much flooding here in Austin as they did in Houston but we did get a whole lot of rain. The 'official' rain fall was way lower than what the tv station gauges were reporting.

They just said on Houston ABC-13 that Emily will lose stength down to 105 mph over the Yucatan which is to be expected, but they also said it is not expected to reintensify over the Gulf before striking land around Brownsville. Any reason for this?

I think I read elsewhere about the possibility of wind shear.

*praying hard for wind shear*

[Portastorm]

The pro mets on board are best to answer this ... but there is an upper level low to the west of Emily that is moving in tandem to the storm .. the ULL is creating substantial shear to the western part of the circulation envelope. In fact, NHC earlier today indicated the ULL is stronger than orginally thought.

Considering the almost 7 inch rain deficit in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex, I'm not surprised.

Sometimes mother nature waits for a drought then makes a flood.

No you're not. Very nice of you...hopefully she won't tell you she's tired of hearing about Emily. She might get really tired of hearing about her if she visits her though!

I am not so sure she will be over the yucatan for very long or maybe not at all....maybe the EASTERN tip...we will see
