I don't know if Central Texas may get much out of Emily, maybe some rain but I don't think it would....but anyone else know if Emily is supposed to hit Central Florida or at least bands to hit Central Texas. I think Southern Texas might get hit by Emily...I dont know about Central, it is possible...what does everyone else think?





I'm just going by what happened with two previous big hurricanes - Gilbert and Allen. There were tornadoes etc here. It's pretty difficult for a hurricane to actually hit Austin - we're not on the coast. But Carla in 1961 was still a Cat 1 when she got here.

And the Rio Grande Vallley (Brownsville on up the river, Larado etc) could possibly get the bad side of Emily depending on how far N/S she is on landfall.

I'm not gloom and doomin south and central Texas, just sayin that if Emily makes landfall in Mexico, parts of Texas could be adversely affected.
