Jax Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Check out this site, but you have to check it out now because he updates the images each day. There are some epic gulf surf photos today. If I wasn't at work I might go join them...G-Town Surf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westguy Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 That will be a bad idea. The bands are supposed to hit Galveston very soon (if they aren't already), and the conditions will be deteriorating rapidly. Those guys are in for a wallop.

OkieEric Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Jax, I agree, it is quite amazing how quickly this developed!I've been watching this clump of storms form and dry up for days...had a feeling it'd finally get organized.Amazing that it developed enough today to form a TS, and possibly a cat 1 before it will make landfall. However, it looks like it just made a jog east and may actually leave a good bit of Houston dry (knock on wood!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Marty Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 It looks like the eye is of the storm is getting a little bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicman Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 i like how the sun came out about 7pm or so. the green on the radar makes it look so much bigger but it is only partly cloudy in the gulfgate area currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToolMan Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Why does channel 2 and 11 have to show this radar image nonstop? It's not going to change within 15 or 30 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricco67 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I'm out outraged that they're using a HISPANIC name, I mean this really is proof that american culture is being put on the back burner by NOAA. They must be part of the conspiracy! Is that a black helicopter I see outside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must be part of the conspiracy!Is that a black helicopter I see outside? I can't tell. My tinfoil hat fell over my eyes. I agree that we should boycott the National Hurricane Center. From now on, I will not recognize any hurricane that hits my house with a hispanic name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetroMogul Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Amazing, all the scattered sea breeze showers that make it ashore from the coast, yet we're going to seemingly missed ENTIRELY by a very well developed TS. You just have to love this Houston weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westguy Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) It's just offshore and it's almost a hurricane, yet the winds remain completely calm. It's really strange.Correction: it IS a hurricane. Someone please change the thread title. Edited September 13, 2007 by westguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
