Warnings coming in from CNN to evacuate.

I am sorry, I am not familiar with place names to list them but they are going over it on CNN. Water rising quickly.

@Noel7- we're watching CNBC and they just announced this. This is all terrifying. And heartbreaking.

I'm not familiar with this (lived in Houston 35 years) and it's a resort and golf course community about 50 miles South of Houston. Must be a private man-made lake.

Hi @gidgetgh

You're right, the weather reporters are saying it's all changing fast.

i heard Houston authorities yesterday in announcements give strong alert to people in this area due to controlled water release by Army C of E at that point. They outlined what to be alert to, and suggested that those who felt their situation might be dangerous voluntarily evacuate then. i hope people did just that.

Ever heard about the 1900 Galveston Hurricane? All others pale by comparison. They later raised the entire city by 17ft and built a seawall.

The Great Galveston Hurricane was a Category 4 storm, with winds of up to 145 mph (233 km/h), which made landfall on September 8, 1900, in Galveston, Texas, in the United States, leaving about 6,000 to 12,000 dead. It remains to the present day the deadliest natural disaster in US history.

Warmer ocean temps.

Rising ocean levels lead to stronger and more intense storm surges.

And warmer temps increase the severity of the storm itself.

just sayin'.

I'm glad you are just sayin' @Cakers3

I've been just sayin' here for several years now and shot down every time by the same people, over and over.

Extreme weather has been predicted all along as a result of the oceans warming.

@Noel7 Yep. Most conversations have been taken over by uninformed people.

"Sea surface temperature has been consistently higher during the past three decades than at any other time since reliable observations began in 1880" according to the EPA.

And continue to rise as of the 2016 data.

@Kachina624 Yes but the geography of the area and the lack of coordination between the national weather service and the local authorities contributed greatly to the devastation in Galveston. If the past century of learning had been applied in 1900, it may not have been as devastating as it had been.

We went to Galveston a few years ago; I can tell you sitting on the beach there was a sense of that tragedy all around-almost as if the energy of those lost was still there. I've heard this before from other people. Or maybe it's just knowing what had happened influences ones perception.

Deniers not only imperil themselves and their loved ones but everyone else.

If anything, don't believe in this change, but, at the least, ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION AND ACT APPROPRIATELY. Why not?
