SwampD Posted August 28, 2017 Report Posted August 28, 2017 It was ten years ago this April that I stepped off of my front porch on to a rescue boat. It's pretty intense and has lasted with my for a long time,… even still. I really feel for these folk and wish them the best. Quote

darksabre Posted August 28, 2017 Report Posted August 28, 2017 I've been keeping up on the news the best I can, and I just can't even imagine what these people are going through. Quote

Expected at least 2 more days of heavy rains. They're still saving people from the top of their roofs to get away from the floods Pretty sure my old apartment is under water. Complex was right next to Braes Bayou & that came very close to topping twice. Hope you're on high ground & can ride out the storm. Not sure if it's true, but heard a guy on TWC say this is the 1st hurricane to hit Texas in 9 years. If true, what a horrible way to break the streak. Quote
jsb Posted August 28, 2017 Report Posted August 28, 2017 Words can't describe the devestation..... More pics Quote
North Buffalo Posted August 28, 2017 Report Posted August 28, 2017 Words can't describe the devestation..... More pics Wow, prayers are with you JSB. Had my house flooded during Hurricane Isabel, but it was in and out in a day... This, this is unreal... Quote

If Breasmont & Breaswood are that far under water, my old apartment is a swimming pool. :( Good luck & God bless. I hope the storm pulls out ahead of schedule. Stay safe. Quote

Doohicksie Posted August 29, 2017 Report Posted August 29, 2017 I know some folks that have gone down to Houston with small boats. Apparently they are using an app to coordinate where they need to be. There are a few groups that communicate on different channels of the app, calling themselves the Cajun Navy (people from Louisiana) and the Texas Navy. Crowd-sourced emergency services. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 28, 2017 Report Posted December 28, 2017 Like the rest of the country we are in the grips of a very cold snap. https://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/ns-19_metric_e.html Quote

Stoner Posted December 28, 2017 Report Posted December 28, 2017 Yep, it's that time of year when the media and the guvment remind us to wear mittens and hats and dress in layers. Quote
Drunkard Posted December 29, 2017 Report Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) Yeah, it's in the mid 20's down here in eastern NC. I'll take this over Wednesday's weather though which was mid 30's with rain. I was hoping for some snow so they'd either close the base or give us a 2 or 3 hour delay to the day but I don't think it's happening. This place is a ghost town with half the staff using vacation time and not coming in anyway. Edited December 29, 2017 by Alkoholist Quote
Weave Posted December 29, 2017 Report Posted December 29, 2017 I read last night that NWS is predicting that Lake Erie will freeze over by Jan 1. Earliest date for complete lake ice coverage in decades. Quote

Taro T Posted December 29, 2017 Report Posted December 29, 2017 I read last night that NWS is predicting that Lake Erie will freeze over by Jan 1. Earliest date for complete lake ice coverage in decades. Which probably sets the date for ice boom removal at ~ June 15. :censored: :lol: Quote
matter2003 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) I really envy you northerners. Here it is almost mid-December and it's 82° outside at 7:45PM. It has dropped below 70 for a total of two hours in the last 11 days. I don't care where you live, the AC shouldn't be running this close to Christmas at 3AM. In the last seven weeks we've had .3" of rain. What's the weather like where you're all at? Cold and snowy...I live in Depew/Lancaster and its snowed 23 of the last 30 days here...and right now as I type this we are getting some very heavy lake snow coming off Lake Ontario out of nowhere at a 2-3 inch per hour clip...Tomorrow the high is supposed to be 5 some places south of here have well over 100 inches of snow at this point already and more coming down as we speak...been 5 Lake Snow warnings with multiple feet of snow each time down there already...

Doohicksie Posted December 31, 2017 Report Posted December 31, 2017 Better drain the water out of your hose just in case :D Seriously, I needed to put those styrofoam caps on my outdoor faucets. The homes aren't built for the cold weather down here. Quote
