Here in Corpus Christi, they are predicting a 6-ft storm surge.

Hopefully, they have  already emptied S. Padre Island

Thanks, my bad.  I looked but couldn't find anything.  Didn't think to look on the Texas thread.

Why doesn't Trump care about Texans? Shouldn't he be there already?

Please stay away.

High level public figures only get in the way and interfere with traffic and other efforts.  At least GWB understood this.

When designing a refinery sited in hurricane territory with history of winds, storm surges, flooding etc., wouldn't it be prudent to provide for the known extreme conditions?

Designing for 120~160 mph winds,  storm surge, and torrential rains is normal for work at the refineries.  However, some of these refineries have been there over 100 years.  Not everything in every refinery has been upgraded in the last couple decades.

Also, shutting the units down and waiting out the worst of the storm is often a wise decision.

Most refineries built along the gulf coast were built 1900-1920.  Not much thought was given in those days to this.  Also think about it, practically all are along water (ie. elevation 0). Not practical to build up the whole site, to a 20 level to prevent surge.  Post Ike,  there have been sites that have improved levee system, but a storm is going to disrupt for other reasons,.... i.e. evacuations, utilities, etc.)

I live in an area of the map where red touches orange so it looks like I'm gonna get a lot of much needed rain over the next few days.



I hope everyone in the area weathers the storm without too much trouble.

   We need the rain bad but the Guadalupe/Comal basin here is prone to major flooding if it were to stall out here.  I'm pretty high up here, 978 as opposed to -6 in my previous residence (nawlins) but I've seen major flood damage 2 blocks away many times since I moved here in 91.

Praying for you and all my Texas family. The are on lake Conroe.  I have seen pictures of the water up to their back porch but it has never gone higher. I hope it holds this time as well.  Harvey forcasted to be a cat 3 by landfall.
