Hanna is on shore south of Corpus Christie at 90mph

[malaise]

This is frightening given the Covid-19 problems in the Rio Grande valley.

1. She jumped up fast.

[malaise]

2. Harvey was worse

Remember

[Lochloosa]

7. Oh I remember.

3. Looks like landfall is in Kenedy County.

That area is sparsely populated so if we are supposed to get by a hurricane, then that is the place for it. The most important concern at this point will be regarding flooding and possible tornadoes. Most of that area is in drought like conditions so the rain may be beneficial.

6. Thanks

Other DUers said they sure need the rain

[cayugafalls]

4. This won't be good. That ramped up kind of quick.

At least it is a fast mover and should not hang around. I hope it does not stall.

[LeftInTX]

8. it's already made landfall.

It won't increase due to location.
The south west bands are already hitting mountains.

5. It's also a very hard hit part of the state for

lack of ER/ICU beds and raging pandemic problems. Not a good scene at all.

[malaise]

9. See TexasTowelie's post at #3

That's good news

[Xipe Totec]

10. That means Corpus is on the wet side of the storm.

[malaise]

11. I'm totally ignorant

on details

[Xipe Totec]

12. Counterclockwise rotation, the wind is coming from the sea to shore on the north (wet)

And moving from shore to sea on the south (the dry side)

[malaise]

14. Got it - you're talking the hurricane

I thought you were talking geography. They don't need wind or water but hopefully given the drought it won't be too bad

[Rstrstx]

28. The south side has been the worst side

Am not sure why with these little pinwheel hurricanes in South Texas do this but Dolly was the same way in 2008, very little action north of the eye. Both took forever to push through and both were in late July.

13. The south west bands are already hitting 8,000 ft peaks.

In Mexico.
Risk of mudslides though, but those mountains deprive storms of their fuel.

[El Supremo]

15. Thanks for the link.

Very good.

16. My dil just sent me this, her family is already quarantined and now this....

Luckily she’s up here, living in WI....but her family is going to get hammered! One brother tested positive yesterday and they’re all sheltering in place at 2 locations, trying to keep him In one room. Good vibes needed friends!

18. The refugees in Matamoros are the ones who are gonna suffer

They're in tents

[Heartstrings]

21. Oh man....

That’s horrible!

[Rstrstx]

23. It's tough if you've lost power

So far we've been lucky, just some flickering, but its westward track is hammering most of the Valley with the southern part of the eye wall. It's going to be a long night.

There are a lot of people in isolation from Covid right now which makes it that much more difficult.

[LeftInTX]

17. Malaise

The blob in the middle of the Atlantic is now at high probability.
(I have no idea how to find your post fron earlier today)
That storm will probably head toward Cuba.

[malaise]

19. We're watching with interest

but it's way to early to figure out which of us will be hit
Looks like that will be a hurricane - still it's forming early and it has a long way to go.
Got all supplies for the peak season. Can't do more than that.

20. A pretty nasty one due to hit Hawaii tomorrow.

22. The eye just passed about 20 miles to our north

I've about run out of Aquanet. This was definitely stronger than they thought it was going to be, I wasn't expecting the worst storm since Dolly in '08 but that's what we're getting. Wind gusts have gone down but are still gale force and the rain is very heavy at the moment. Brownsville and Matamoros probably aren't getting hit as hard given that they're about twice as far from the eye as we are.

[LeftInTX]

25. You're in a hurricane and you've run out of Aquanet!

Now did you put it on before you went to the store and did your hair hold up??

[greytdemocrat]

26. LOL!!!

[mentalsolstice]

24. Hanna was expected to make landfall as a TS! That changed quickly!

We’re keeping our eye out on the other storm brewing out in the Atlantic, as it looks like it’s on track to make its way into the Gulf. And of course the one heading to Hawaii.

Everyone who lives in hurricane paths, you’re in my thoughts and I hope all DUers keep us in their thoughts. In our case, if we have to evacuate, I really don’t know where we would go.

[greytdemocrat]

27. Where ever these storms hit...

We need to keep an eye on them
and keep the board apprised of them
and where they may hit.

Keep Safe!
