Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Has anyone developed a Pertmaster Hurricane weather module for the Houston - Gulf Coast region that they will share? The current module seems to be for Jamaica or other frequent target.

I would be happy to offer my feeble attempt as a starting point, if anyone has some historical data that might be applied.

Thanks.

Hi Dennis

You are right - a quick google gave no list of hurricne data over the years.

You may want to try:

www.wxresearch.com/outlook/2007hurout.pdf.

which does seem to have some information.

In hindsight it may well be:

Give it a try.

Best regards

PS I have a personal interest in this because my family are flying back from Houston to Norwich International this afternoon.

Thanks Mike but the data i have been able to find is neither as specific nor as detailed as I would like - generally only annual totals. The best I have found are two charts for Morgan City and Sabine Pass.

I was hoping someone else may have some better data. Again thanks for the response.

Hi Dennis

I am sure that NASA at Houston have some sort of predictive software that they can share with you.

Otherwise look at the records of the last 5 years and work out the statistical probability of a hurricane hitting your project.

Set this in your calendar for your current project and then update when hurricanes actually happen.

Hardly a contingency in Hereford Herefordshire or Hamshire as My fair Lady would have it.

Best regards

Mike Testro.
