top_shelf_12 Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Alan was right on for Harvey and right on for Hanna. As Mike said, not only does he tell us the weather but also teaches. Hope he sticks around awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arob Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Well , if you want to guarantee rain in Corpus Christi just schedule a sprint car race. Mr. Holt is the best weather guy around. He has been here long enough to have a nickname like Dead Wrong Dale and Guessy Vessey do. I wonder what it could be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALAN is for real arob ..he does not just go with what he is told by the national weather service ..he studies the weather patterns like a good meteorologist DOES ..waiting on nick and alan one day to bring the truck by i called and asked nick to ask alan if that nasty rain cloud two blocks away was going to hit me . alan said no and it would be gone in ten minutes .. he was correct and i knew then and there .. we have a good one .

I agree. Alan is the best there is. I appreciate the way he explains the weather so us laymen can understand what is happening. Charlie St. John was one of the best as well.

Nothing else except for losing power for about 15 1/2 hours. I was watching television about 8:00 Saturday night thinking we came through it ok when bam!! No power. It got hot quick in this house. I was able to open a window on the back door and a window in a spare bedroom on the other side of the house and got a nice breeze coming through. It got so cool I had to go under the covers. It's got me thinking pretty seriously about getting a standby generator. I have a small portable but nothing big enough to keep us cool.

top_shelf_12 Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Yes Rodney, as the others have said, luckily for us it moved further South. We didn't even lose power this time in our neighborhood. Peak winds probably in the 50s, moderate rain, and a lot of small branches and pecans (pecan tree in the backyard). The Valley got hit harder than us on this one. Thankfully we avoided most of it but Bob Hall Pier was severely damaged which sucks but they say they will rebuild it. Odd that the storm surge seemed worse with Hanna than Harvey, but maybe not. Actually got to watch the news with Hanna, work didn't want us to know how strong Harvey got.
