Rrrgh.  I moved in early 16.  The locals all said “ meh- we haven’t had a hurricane in 10 years”
Now- we seem to have one every year.  My first year here was a direct hit.
My better half was ready to Kill me when I got from my annual ( 32nd annual this year) nort
Thern Mi golf trip w my HS/football/Bball friends.
At least 3 of these have it when I was gone- she was not happy.
As long as I am back before it hits….

They suck.  But my house was built to withstand a direct hit from a Cat 5- so that helps

Just 2-3 days of sustained 40-50 mph winds and heavy rain.

That's what we are hoping for. Long-term spaghetti models have it doing that, but some have it going straight.

USA and EU models have it North.

And I really like hearing that.

It's when a storm stays out in the Atlantic to die without affecting land.

Those don't happen in the Gulf. When they make it into the Gulf, they are gonna do damage in almost every instance.

Regarding the discussion on groundwater a few pages back....

It's well established that the Ogallala aquifer has been dropping for decades. It supplies some major farmland with irrigation needs.  There are lots of other aquifers in places that are stressed as well. Which is why there is a big push to move most Texas towns/cities to surface water.  Which means more reservoirs essentially.  

One of the big things that can be done is to STOP subsidizing the ethanol industry, which is reliant on corn.  Lots of water being pumped to support that enterprise.  Bet nobody counts the CO2 emissions from millions of gallons being pumped.  

As I type this my guys are setting casing for a 320 foot well we just drilled.  Hopefully this one makes water, the previous attempt was not good.  Trying for 50-80 gallons per minute.  Wish me luck !

Yep. One of the fun dealings of politics. The interests which benefit from corn-based ethanol are highly centralized and can exert enormous lobbying power to keep it, while those who pay the costs of it are diffused and nobody has enough incentive to put their political career on the line to kill it.
