From KPolt at aol.com Thu Jul 3 08:27:21 2008 From: KPolt at aol.com (KPolt at aol.com) Date: Thu, 3 Jul 2008 08:27:21 EDT Subject: [D21] LRGV Coop Charting Hotel name change Message-ID: The Ramada Limited is now called American Inn and Suites. Same hotel, same rates, same phone number, same services, same location, new name. The sign has been changed to a large black sign with the word MOTEL (or was it HOTEL, shoot I don't remember) written on it. That is what you will see driving down the Expressway 77/83. I have to think that this sign is temporary, because it is so ugly. But who knows..... The hotel is right next to the Best Western, if that helps as a landmark. Please pass this on to those who are attending the Coop Charting event on July 25-26-27. thanks PC Kay Polt Secretary, LRGV **************Gas prices getting you down?

Hotel is still the same but the name has changed. Ramada Limited is now called American Inn (or something like that). The sign still has Ramada's house-shaped look, but it is solid black with the word MOTEL in white block letters. Same price, same location, new name. For those of you coming from the north, or McAllen area, on Expressway 77/83 exit Ed Carey Drive. Make a U-turn at the light to get to the other side of the road. The hotel is between the Shell Gas Station and the Best Western Hotel on the access road. For those of you coming from Brownsville or the south, exit Ed Carey Drive and continue through the light, first motel just past the Shell Station. 2. Tropical Storm Dolly is trying to make my life as stressful as she can as she kissed the north side of the Yucatan. Right now, it is estimated to hit landfall as a Category 1 hurricane, with the Lower Rio Grande Valley dead center in the cone of uncertainty. Landfall expected 1am Thursday. That messes up my week, but should be all over and just a memory by the time our Coop charting event takes place. As of right now, the Coop Charting event is still on schedule.

This plus the expanding upper-level outflow, plus the warm gulf water temperatures all support intensification to Cat 1 Hurricane by landfall. Because there is not a defined center at this time, until the surface low center area gets back over water, the initial forward movement as intensification starts is still uncertain. The NHC forecaster is still using the phrase "my best guess." A mid-level ridge just north of the storm now is supposed to weaken in a couple of days - that is what is influencing the current model tracks. Watch the mid-level ridge now over the southern plains - this will be the key guiding force for the track this storm ultimately takes. All the global models show slightly different strengths and configurations of this ridge in 72 hours, thus different possible landfall latitudes along the gulf coast. Keep in mind - the initial forecast tracks are frequently a little fast, storms often (BUT NOT ALWAYS) slow down. Just drive safely and bring foul weather gear if the storm hasn't gone onshore by Friday - keep in mind the opportunity for more Coop Charting corrections resulting from higher seas & winds! Unless something truly out of the ordinary happens, conditions won't be any worse than a bad thunderstorm. Don't woose out until you are sure! My cell is 713-248-3454 - call for on-the-spot reports. Justy & Marie Galante have their pfd's and rain gear ready. regards, D/C Goddess of Wx ________________________________ From: d21-bounces at usps.org [mailto:d21-bounces at usps.org] On Behalf Of KPolt at aol.com Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 6:24 AM To: Hamilton, Jean Cc: sr_schmidt at juno.com; cvstrong1 at sbcglobal.net; BKetchum090643 at sbcglobal.net; sheald at ryder.com; rcsnapp at comcast.net; Hamilton, Joseph; roger.b.penneman at lmco.com; District 21 Mailing List - Texas and Western Louisiana Subject: [D21] LRGV Coop Charting Update 1.

We waded through my new lake and a friend picked us up on the dry side and gave us a ride over to Chris's RV. No flooding, no damage to either trailer or truck. There was a little bit of water in the bathroom where a vent lid came open, but as luck would have it a garbage can was precisely positioned under it and captured about 2 inches of water before it could get to the floor. In general, her RV park suffered damage to skirting, awnings, and car ports. There was one RV tipped over on it's side and another 5th wheel unit that had sunk it's front landing gear into the mud so it was tipped forward. Some of the "stick buildings" lost some shingles. All in all, very low damage for an RV park that got pounded by 20 inches of rain and 85-90 mph winds with gusts up to 105mph. Chris now has coffee but is still short on Chocolate.....

If you have a reservation and your name is not on this list, I did NOT cancel it. You will have to call yourself. American Best Value Inn (Formerly the Ramada Limited) 956-425-1333. The hotel suffered some damage to the roof and they told me they had some musty rooms, but people right now are desperate for a dry bed and they were full up. I don't think it hurt their feelings that we canceled this weekend. They actually seemed relieved. I have picked all the emails from DB2000 for this list to notify ya'll, but didn't have one listed for Frank Beneke. If he's the one with the reservation, can someone please let him know. Please also pass this information on to those members you know who had reservations but are not on this list. Additional info regarding Chris's place. We waded through my new lake and a friend picked us up on the dry side and gave us a ride over to Chris's RV. No flooding, no damage to either trailer or truck. There was a little bit of water in the bathroom where a vent lid came open, but as luck would have it a garbage can was precisely positioned under it and captured about 2 inches of water before it could get to the floor. In general, her RV park suffered damage to skirting, awnings, and car ports. There was one RV tipped over on it's side and another 5th wheel unit that had sunk it's front landing gear into the mud so it was tipped forward. Some of the "stick buildings" lost some shingles. All in all, very low damage for an RV park that got pounded by 20 inches of rain and 85-90 mph winds with gusts up to 105mph. Chris now has coffee but is still short on Chocolate.....

Please pass the word to any you know who were planning to come! Just talked to Kay - she's fine, water up to the door, Chris is also there. Haven't heard from Shirley who was going down to South Padre Tuesday evening (Shirley are you out there?). Main issue is no power anywhere and flooded streets. I expect the streets will be ok soon, but there's a likelihood power won't be back on for a while. I asked Kay to let me know if any of us could do/bring/help, etc., so if I hear of any needs I'll let you know. (Chris mentioned chocolate & coffee.) I also tried to call the hotel - sounds like the phone is ringing but no one is answering. regards & Kay wants to reschedule, so stay tuned! Jean R/C Jean L.
