If you are heading to Houston...

Beware of what might greet you ;)

LOL! Good stuff. However, the purple kool-aid at the end is the best part.

Latest weather forecast by the way, is 40% chance of thunderstorms on Sat and 30% on Sun with Ike supposedly hitting southern Tex and barely grazing Hou. I'm sure this forecast will change 10 times by Sat.

[Sports Steve]

There was talk yesterday that they might even move the game if the storm is bad. How messed up would that be for the Ravens fans going ? Man I hope they don't.


:jester: :jester:

There is a 40% chance of thunder storms every day in Houston -- thats nothing new. ;)

The latest tracking of Ike (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/storm_graphics/AT09/refresh/AL0908W5+gif/144313W_sm.gif) puts the storm south past Corpus. This is good and bad news for those of you making the trip.

It's good news since the storms eye wont force the cancellation / movement of the game. It's bad news since the eastern edge of a hurricane is always stronger and it will probably effect flights into Houston's 2 airports.

Looking @ the NHC website, the current track of the storm looks to be NE of Austin @ 1 pm Sunday.

Anyone heard if the Ravens are planning on leaving early so they are not flying in when the weather will be poor?

[HoustonRaven]

It's not the actual storm or its location you should worry about (unless it turns North).

Houston sits in a flood zone. If we get the rain from the eastern edge of a major hurricane, the city will be shut down for a week.

[PARavensJeff]

O, I understand that, I was all for moving the game here!!!

[Big Worm]

Yeah, I would imagine the airport will have to close on Saturday since weather.com shows 50mph winds in Houston.

[ravenfever_com]

The NFL would not move the game to Baltimore and if they did we would not get the tickets as it would not be a home game for us. If it was a div game then they could have swapped the event and all would be fair in the world of NFL Cash ... trust me ... I have no true understanding of NFL Cash other then they do not like to ever give it to anyone.

But the truth is .... A PURPLE STORM WILL KNOCK OUT HOUSTON !!!

I think it will be so hard for the Houston team and Fans that they will turn off the power so they can not see the game!

GO RAVENS !!!!

[HoustonRaven]

50 mph winds = airport closure.

If you're planning on coming here, you better come on Friday.

[Big Worm]

Thought about coming in Friday, but not so interested in voluntarily choosing to ride out a category 3 or 4 hurricane which could change directions towards Houston at any moment...

[obannon35]

So there's a chance we could play this game on Monday Night? I've heard that suggested somewhere. Anyway you look at it, this is quickly becoming a distraction....

[HoustonRaven]

No news here in H-town on if they will postpone or move the game ....

However, if you are planning on attending DO NOT WEAR A WHITE JERSEY!

They are doing a "white out" for the game so wear your purple!

[RAVENOUS52]

God is a Ravens fan. He'll make sure everything works out.

Maybe they can play in Hilary Duff's back yard! (double entendre, anyone?:embarassed: )
