Popular Post treeslayer Posted August 29, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 We're all hoping this all ends soon for you Texans Coop, cutting up carpet isn't the worst down there but it still sucks, thanks for checking in. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Coop Posted August 30, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 This was a break in the clouds and we could actually see the blue sky but the clouds moved in too fast to get a good pic. But there is still encouragement from above. We've had thousands flooded and displaced, a police officer killed and several others have lost their lives, and an ammonia plant to the east has lost it's power and that ain't cool. There have been hundreds from other parts of the state and also from around the country that have come with their boats and muscle and it's amazing. Thanks all for your thoughts and prayers. Coop! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Whataburger has closed more than 200 stores in the storm area since last Friday, and are still closed. Lord knows, they won't be able to keep up, once they reopen. I am in my third day of denial! Great company and great burger! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 I emailed them and told them to check out this post. They'll be tickled I bet. If you could get a franchise, it would be the next best thing to Chick-Fil-A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwerker Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Chick-fil-a ! I remember my aunt would bring us chicken sandwiches from the original store when I was a boy. Then they started opening mall stores and eventually free standing stores. I guess I'm just lucky to have them available for most of my life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatCharlieDude Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 If your gas comes from Houston you might want to fill up tonight or tomorrow morning. We're starting to run out of gas here in DFW. 50 minutes ago, wdwerker said: Chick-fil-a ! I remember my aunt would bring us chicken sandwiches from the original store when I was a boy.

TerryMcK Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Just reading reports about that Arkema chemical plant you mentioned Ken that is now exploding. I hope all residents, workers and first responders are clear of the area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Thanks Terry. I read it here before I saw it on tv this morning!! It was not really an explosion (yet), although the news people first said that it was. Now they're saying it was a controlled vent of some cylinders, but yet it sent 10 first responders to the hospital! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 I would say putting people in hospital is serious. They are probably playing it down. The owner said as the power was off the cooling of whatever volatile chemicals they have on site could not be maintained and they will overheat. "So there is nothing we can do about it" Gulp!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeslayer Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 @K Cooper, looks like lots of help on the ground Coop, and you Texans sure need it, first time i've ever heard of the Cajun Navy and i've got some cajun friends, hoping for dry weather for you folks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick S Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 I just watched this - talk about perspective. Hard to imagine that much water. http://www.9news.com/news/local/next/how-much-snow-would-we-be-getting-in-colorado-in-place-of-texas-50-inches-of-rain/469290514?utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+Trending+Content&utm_content=59a789cb19694a00077fb560&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook Now, his report was based on 7 trillion gallons of water falling in S TX. The last report I saw put the total around 27 trillion gallons. Using his formula, that would mean it would take 14 months for that much water to flow over Niagara Falls. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kungsleden Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 And now, Irma is building up. My wife has been following hurricanes the last couple of weeks. Apparently, Irma may be headed our way (Carolinas), and is a 4 at the moment. I googled quickly and I think my wife is a bit over-imagining. Still, Irma could be very nasty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardA Posted September 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 It's kinda odd, the American computer models claim Irma is going up the eastern seaboard. The computer models in Europe claim it's going under Cuba and into the Gulf. Wonder which one is correct. I hate the way we have to find out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The U.S. just put up a new satellite about a year ago and when the testing is done and it is fully operational it is supposed to eliminate almost all the guess work for storms like these.

Popular Post Coop Posted September 1, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Harvey was supposed to have gone into Mexico but there was a problem with a potential wall going up and there was a chance it couldn't get back out.! Meant only as a joke!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
