Alright #Houston. We've talked about this for years. It's here. Don't be the reason #Harvey becomes a killer.

@JeffLindner1 @mattlanza @BillyForney3 @TexasLiberty15 @NWSHouston @JohnDawsonFox26 @KAGS_Bob I casually suggested in another conversation that if the Greek Alphabet did get depleted in a season that storms be named with Roman Numerals after that. Cant really run out of those but then again these things probably shouldn’t be tempted 🤷🏼‍♂️

@StephanieBradb Competing weather interests this morning to say the least!

[Matt Glenn @mattglenn0810]

Although in the meantime, this is pretty fantastic right now

[Matt Glenn @mattglenn0810]

Sure, because we just LOVE long-stay prolific tropical rain dumpers in these parts... 😒😩🤦🏼‍♂️

CC @NWSLakeCharles, @JeffLindner1, @mattlanza; would be happy to hear any professional post-storm analysis you’d like to add

Easy to see how far inland Laura’s eastern eyewall pushed storm surge two weeks ago while flying along the SW Louisiana coastline today

[Matt Glenn @mattglenn0810]

Tips that helped me feel safer while flying:

✅ Flew with KN95 mask to protect others AND myself
✅ Sat at the rear of the aircraft with nobody behind me
✅ Practiced physical distancing even when others were not
✅ Carried hand sanitizer to use after touching common surfaces

Excellent virtual history tour of the catastrophic 1900 Galveston Hurricane 120 years ago this week ⬇️

[davis_wx @davis_wx]

September 8, 1900

A storm that changed history, landscapes and international relations. The deadliest US natural disaster to this day.

The Great Galveston Hurricane. You need not walk more than a few feet on the island as reminders are everywhere

[Weather History @weather_history]

September 8th, 1900 - The greatest weather disaster in U.S. records occurred when a hurricane struck Galveston, TX.
~6,000 to 12,000 people died on Galveston Island and the mainland. Texas' most advanced city, Galveston, was nearly destroyed. #wxhistory

@wx_becks I was actually just wondering about this. Truly solemn and sobering whenever this happens.

[Matt Glenn @mattglenn0810]

As long-time Houston resident, absolutely this.

@AbbieKamin I'm in the camp of "don't"
