Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami said top sustained winds reached 75 mph . It was traveling north-northeast at 10 mph on a forecast track to pass near Matagorda Bay in the upper Texas Gulf Coast later Monday, then move onshore along the Southeast Texas coast into Tuesday evening.
Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami said the system’s top sustained winds were 70 mph , nearly hurricane strength and an increase of 10 mph from earlier in the day. If the winds hit 74 mph , the storm would become a Category 1 hurricane. It was moving north-northeast at 12 mph and was predicted to make landfall late Monday night along the central Texas coast.
An automated station in Matagorda Bay registered a sustained wind of 55 mph with a gust of 71 mph , the hurricane center reported. In flood-prone Houston, officials worried that heavy rain expected to arrive late Monday and early Tuesday could inundate streets and flood homes. Authorities deployed high-water rescue vehicles throughout the city and erected barricades at more than 40 locations that tend to flood, Mayor Sylvester Turner said.
“This city is very resilient. We know what we need to do. We know about preparing,” said Turner, referencing four major flood
I honestly don't know which state I want destroyed more, FL or TX just to own the Cons.
Over exaggerated, as usual.
God must be angry at Texas. I wonder why?
Goobenor Greg will of course get right on top of this by signing an executive order banning all masks during the recovery/rebuild and issuing free pizza vouchers to all citizen snitches who report any mask wearers. sarcasmisfun
Does this mean Gods about to punish Texas for its law on abortion or its laws restricting voting? Or both? 🤔🤔🤨🤨
I’m guessing tedcruz already left for Mexico again?
20-inches of rain! What’s the current situation… 😳 HurricaneNicholas | Drowning | Texas
Gov. Abbot has pledged: PAPER TOWELS FOR ALL!
Even Jesus hates texasgov
I will bet that Texas did nothing after the last hurricane to help the flooding situation....just like the energy problem...nothing.
As the far right Evangelists would say if it happened in a Blue State..It's on them - these natural disasters for being so terrible and bad.
My dm is open for those that have this questions in mind.
status update........... +
The hurricane came ashore on the eastern part of the Matagorda Peninsula, about 10 miles west southwest of Sargent Beach, Texas, with maximum winds of 75 mph; Nicholas was the 14th named storm of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season.
I am not feeling it. It is calm in Houston, Texas.
I'd Rather They Had An Abortion Than Wishing They Had One Later.
Texas being run by Republicans, I expect that it has adequate flood management infrastructure. If not, I would blame it on the cities within Texas run by TheDemocrats !
FEMA budgets dwindle into two hurricane events and 🔥 in the Western states; but Fed policy gets hung up while we consider $billions in humanitarian relief to a 20 year miss in Afghanistan. … Politics over protecting the backs of small business & the working class…..
Breaking: Taliban Marching towards USA, Have reached Africa? Get ready Americans lol Have a look yourself
Have a great time in Mexico tedcruz
In the immortal words of Mike_Pence 'SHUT IT DOWN'!
Texans that be your God - She don't care for your new AbortionBan laws either. misogyny
Maybe if Trump would just used his pen to draw a different storm track and Texas will be safe?!?!
I feel zero sympathy for Texas. Maybe the hurricane can create a cleansing effect to the distasteful electorate there.
karolcummins tedcruz is moving at category 5 as he heads out of Texas for that long-delayed vacay.
Teds has already run away.
Thoughts and prayers. or do i wait until after some town gets destroyed or homes are flooded, and then don’t do anything about it ever but ask for federal help
Well shit. Be safe everyone.
Its Texas. No one cares.
I owe you an apology to ever doubt your sincerity and professionalism. It’s was just like a dream to me when I received my first payment. After my second payment it became a reality now after several payments it has become a way of life. Lisamarkdonalld I really appreciate you.
If I were a church going bloke, I’d wonder if God was pissed with Texas for some reason. Hell hath no fury…
My appreciation and gratitude to this experter for helping me out with trades connect with him TonishKevin
