Not coming near Dallas, so I should be fine. It's also not going to Houston... and yet, Houston will still flood.

Haven't heard anything. My cousin works there and I'm on the hotline for Exxon has a problem that will require quick turnaround work. They call everyone that has ever done much work for all their refineries if something needs shipped or someone needs to go there. Uneducated guess most issues plants and refineries have in a hurricane or tropical storm are power related. Most refineries sell their excess power they generate but at times they have issues getting power and it takes time to get process shut down or rerouted.

Shelter-in-place lifted for for Charlton-Pollard neighborhood, ExxonMobil gives all clear
According to a release from Matt Gully, the ExxonMobil Beaumont Public and Government Affairs Manager, they were working to prevent a release.

The plant lost a unit that's responsible for processing sulfur. This process takes that sulfur out of the finished products like gasoline and diesel, according to ExxonMobil Beaumont Complex Manager Michael Mustian.
"And when that happens that causes impacts within the rest of the refinery and out of an abundance of caution we decided to issue that shelter-in-place," Mustian said.
ExxonMobil has been conducting fenceline monitoring throughout, and haven't had any detection of any hazardous materials, including sulfur dioxide.
"Sulfur dioxide, if inhaled can be an irritant for the respiratory system, so that's why people were asked to stay inside and shelter-in-place," said Mustian.

Currently at the LA/MS line near where I-55 crosses. It started raining here a few days before the hurricane was an issue. We were under a flash flood watch when they announced it. It's rained here the last 3-4 days and still is, just getting breezy now not really windy yet. 30mph wind gust currently.
When outside Baton Rouge got almost 30" of rain in two days in 2016 it rained a lot here but between two lakes and a river and the highest elevation for quite a while. It did wash some houses off the foundation about 10 miles down the river when it happened and it blew out the dam at the lake.

When I take the safety class or watch the film for all the refineries and chemical plants I do to get a badge they go on endlessly about which gate to exit if the wind is blowing this way or that direction. Like the wind ever changes from blowing west to east here unless it's a hurricane. My take away has always been follow someone that works there every day.

Anyone have a good recommendation for an anemometer I can mount on my roof and get data in real time? I see most of them only pick up readings every 18 seconds, I want that on demand. Thanks!

The Weather Underground website uses individuals with their own little weather station to report more local conditions than the various weather services, so they have a list of recommended personal weather stations, if you want a place to start. People having their own set up seems rather rare though.

Thanks man, I’ll check that out. I don’t want to spend a ton of money, but think it would be cool to have something that is mostly accurate and reports instantly.

Looks like we'l might be getting our first hurricane here since moving to Florida 3 and a half years ago. Think we got a tropical storm or two the first year (2021). Although the models for this one keep pushing it further east so it may be one of those ones that ends up not even giving us rain again.

probably going to get ass fucked again by this one too.

I'll start looking at it come Weds. Its way too far out to be concerned about it. For now...Looks like we'l might be getting our first hurricane here since moving to Florida 3 and a half years ago.

Seems like any coast you live comes with some disaster potential. At least where you typically have nicer weather.

It headed northwest at the moment. And I ain't far from you inland.Looks like the storm is slowing down. Good news forGravel and me if it continues. The more it slows the more it should end up stearing to the west.
