Pitching matchup

Two former White Sox. Brandon “made of glass” McCarthy vs. Jon “cockroach above chin” Garland.

Three things

1. Been watching the track on Gustav, and the greater NOLA area is probably in big trouble if this thing goes crazy like we’ve seen happen before. If it stays on a westerly track it’ll eventually impact DFW, and could make things interesting in Houston long before that.

2. Best wishes to LSB’s and BTiA’s own Jason Parks, who is tying the knot on Labor Day.

3. Brandon McCarthy. Hell yeah.

it doesn't look like the center will hit Houston

and believe me, working at a hospital, it is quite a topic of discussion.

by clark on Aug 28, 2008 8:32 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Look at what its doing

There’s no way they can tell where its going right now. It nudged southwest in the last couple of hours. That’s crazy.

by robert_d_wilfong on Aug 28, 2008 8:42 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

yeah, that was optimism talking

wherever it hits, it is going to hit hard.

by clark on Aug 28, 2008 8:44 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Haven't really followed it....

So what are the potential impacts for DFW just torrential rain or…

Well

If it hits around houston then keeps moving north we’ll get lots of rain probably some severe weather too like tornadoes. It just depends on which way it goes after it makes landfall.

Checking on it now says it might be a cat 3 or 4 by Monday. Yikes.

EFFFF

we’re going to Houston/Round Rock/San Marcos from Saturday to Tuesday. Forecast track so far looks OK – hopefully it doesn’t speed up!

Getting down there won't be a problem

And it shouldn’t hit until late Monday or Tuesday. But trying to get back will be a pain in the ass.

We were debating staying over Tuesday night but I’m thinking we probably aren’t now. Dammit!

Gustav

Yeah that fucker almost ruined my Labor Day weekend. We were called to day and told to mobilize this weekend to Ft Polk, LA so we could go from there with the rescue missions. Luckily they decided to just wait here till Tuesday or Wednesday and then mobilize once we know exactly where and what damage was done.
