re: #322 klys (maker of Silmarils)

It’s better to be safe and sheepish than sorry.

Cable news can absolutely overplay but the NWS and NHC are less inclined and using some of their strongest language on this.

I’ve been through or on the edge of half a dozen or more hurricanes. Riding out a couple finally taught me that if you have a place to run to, run. Always. The very best you’re looking at if you stay is a long spell without electricity in steaming heat (hey, Texas in August). So my advice to people in Harvey’s path? Pack up, shut down the place, leave, preferably by tomorrow a.m.
