HOUSTON DOCTOR WHO WAS ASKED TO
GET OFF A PLANE BECAUSE OF WHAT
SHE WAS WEARING.
DR. TISHA ROWE THOUGHT HER
ROMPER WAS TOO DISTRACTING AND
THAT AMERICAN AIRLINES ASKED
HER TO COVER UP IF SHE WANTED
TO BOARD THE PLANE.
SO ROWE REBOARDED THE PLANE
WRAPPED IN A BLANKET.
THE AIRLINELATER RELEASED A
STATEMENT WHICH READS IN PART
IT LOOKED INTO THE SITUATION,
APOLOGIZED TO DR. ROWE AND HER
SON AND REFUNDED HER TRAVEL.
MESH'S POLICY SAYS CLOTHING
DEEMED OFFENSIVE ISN'T ALLOWED

>>> WE HAVE OUR EYES TURNED TO
THE GULF.
THE GULF.
THE GULF. THE SYSTEM'S PATH STILL UNCLEAR
THIS MORNING.
THIS MORNING. THIS IS A GOOD REMINDER ABOUT
HAVING THE RIGHT INSURANCE.
OUR DAVID GONZALEZ EXPLAINS HOW
POLICIES CAN CHANGE DEPENDING
ON WHERE YOU LIVE.
>> Reporter: MAJOR STORMS BRING
THE THREAT OF WATER DAMAGE
RIGHT TO YOUR FRONT DOOR.
THAT IS WHY CURT PICKERRING
WITH FEMA SAYS IT'S IMPORTANT
TO HAVE FLOOD INSURANCE.
>> IF YOU HAVE A MORTGAGE ON
YOUR HOUSE AND IT GETS FLOODED
AND TOTALED AND YOU DON'T HAVE
ANY INSURANCE TO COVER IT
BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE FLOOD
INSURANCE, IF YOU CAN PROJECT
THAT SITUATION IT WOULD BE
WORTH THE PEACE OF MIND TO HAVE
IT.
IT.
IT. >>
IT. >> Reporter: JUST LIKE FLOOD
INSURANCE, SOME EXTRA COVERAGE
IS NEEDED WHEN GOING UP AGAINST
WIND OR HAIL.
THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF
INSURANCE SAYS PEOPLE LIVING IN
ONE OF TEXAS' 14 COASTAL
COUNTIES OR A SMALL PART OF
HARRIS COUNTY WILL NEED
SEPARATE WIND AND HAIL
INSURANCE OUTSIDE OF THEIR
HOMEOWNERS POLICY.
HOMEOWNERS POLICY. THAT IS DONE THROUGH THE TEXAS
WIND STORM INSURANCE
ASSOCIATION.
ASSOCIATION. REGULAR HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE
POLICIES COVER EVERYONE ELSE.
PEOPLE SHOULD BE AWARE OF
HURRICANE DEDUCTIBLES THAT ARE
TRIGGERED ONCE THERE'S A STORM.
POLICIES MAY SHIFT FROM
TRADITIONAL DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLES
TO PERCENTAGE.
TO PERCENTAGE. THEY RANGE FROM 1 TO 10% OF A
HOME'S INSURED VALUE.
PICKERRING SAYS A PRESIDENTIAL
DISASTER DECLARATION CAN
TRIGGER AID RESPONSE, BUT
THAT'S NOT ALWAYS THE CASE.
>> IF THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T
DECLARE A DISASTER, THEN YOU
HAVE NOTHING BETWEEN YOU AND
THE LOST DOLLARS.
>> Reporter: NOT ALL POLICIES
ARE WRITTEN THE SAME SO
HOMEOWNERS SHOULD ASK THEIR
AGENTS ABOUT THEIR POLICIES AND
WHAT THEY'RE WORTH AND WHAT
THEIR DEDUCTIBLES ARE.
>> AS WE KNOW WE'RE JUST A
COUPLE YEARS PAST HARVEY SO
PEOPLE AREN'T TAKING ANY
CHANCES.
CHANCES.
CHANCES. GROCERY STORES HAVING TO TRUCK
IN EXTRA SUPPLIES THAT ARE
FLYING OFF THE SHELVES.
BATTERIES, CANNED MEATS AND
WATER VANISHED QUICKLY.
>> I WAS CONCERNED THEN I
TEXTED MY PARENTS WHO RECENTLY
MOVED TO THE AREA AND I'M LIKE,
BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW.
I'M LIKE, GET WATER, GET
SUPPLIES.
SUPPLIES.
SUPPLIES. >> HOUSTON RESIDENTS, PEOPLE IN
OUR ENTIRE AREA HERE PREPARING
EARLY, LEARNING LESSONS FROM
PAST STORMS AS WELL.
WE'LL HAVE MORE VETERAN
RESIDENTS ADVICE FOR NEWCOMERS
AHEAD AT 5:00.
>>> THIS MORNING CHITA HAS
ANSWERS FOR US.
LEVI ASKED ABOUT THE MODELS WE
USE TO TRACK THESE SYSTEMS.
HE'S WONDERING IF THEY GET MORE
ACCURATE WHEN HURRICANE RECON
DATA COMES IN OR IF IT THEY
RELY ON SATELLITE IMAGERY OR
STATIONARY DATA.
STATIONARY DATA. >> SO MUCH MORE ACCURATE ONCE
THE RECON PLANES FLY IN HERE.
MIDDAY FOR US, ABOUT 1:00,
SCHEDULED FLIGHT TIME, EASTERN
TIME.
TIME.
TIME. THAT'S WHEN WE'LL NOTICE THIS
TRACK GETTING A LOT MORE
CONCISE AND REALLY MOST MODELS
WILL PROBABLY START WORKING
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER. IT'S DIFFICULT WHEN YOU'RE
DEALING WITH UPPER LEVEL
SITUATIONS TO TRY TO STEER
SOMETHING THAT WILL BE
POTENTIALLY FORMING AT THE
SURFACE.
SURFACE.
SURFACE. SO THAT'S WHAT'S MADE THIS
FORECAST EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.
BUT TAKE A LOOK, BIG CLUSTER OF
THUNDERSTORMS.
THUNDERSTORMS. BIG BROAD SOURCE OF MOISTURE
PRETTY MUCH OVER THE ENTIRE
NORTHEAST QUADRANT.
NORTHEAST QUADRANT. THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.
THIS SYSTEM IS NOW OVER THE
OPEN WATERS IN THE GULF.
SO AT THIS POINT THIS IS WHAT
MOST MODELS ARE INDICATING.
LET ME SHOW YOU, ON AVERAGE I
COULD SAY THIS IS FROM THE
TEXAS-LOUISIANA BORDER AND
FAIRLY EAST OF THAT.
SO WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE MORE
CERTAIN HERE THAT THIS IS GOING
TO BE A LOUISIANA SYSTEM NO
MATTER HOW IT INTENSIFIES AND
NO MATTER THE TIMING.
I WILL SAY THE LONGER IT SITS
IN THE OPEN WATER IT'S GOING TO
HAVE LONGER TIME TO STRENGTHEN.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR US, IF WE
ARE IN THE WESTERN FRINGE WHERE
WE'RE NOT OUT OF THE WOODS,
ESPECIALLY CHAMBERS, LIBERTY,
PORTIONS OF EASTERN HARRIS
COUNTY.
COUNTY.
COUNTY. I
COUNTY. I STILL WANT YOU TO PAY
EXTREMELY CLOSE ATTENTION TO
THIS AND OF COURSE KEEP YOUR
STORM SUPPLIES VERY CLOSE AT
HAND.
HAND.
HAND. DEVELOPMENT LIKELY TODAY,
MEANING A TROPICAL DEPRESSION,
EVEN TROPICAL STORM BARRY.
THAT'S MY SECOND HEADLINE FOR
YOU.
YOU.
YOU. NEW
YOU. NEW TRACK EXPECTED THIS
AFTERNOON.
AFTERNOON. CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING RIGHT
NOW.
NOW.
NOW. SO
NOW. SO AT LEAST MODELS ARE
SEMISTARTING TO COME TOGETHER.
TEXAS NOT COMPLETELY OUT OF THE
WOODS.
WOODS.
WOODS. BUT WHAT WE'RE HOPING HERE
HAPPENS, THIS TROUGH TO OUR
NORTH WILL HELP TO PULL
WHATEVER DOES DEVELOP PRETTY
QUICKLY TO OUR NORTH.
SO EVEN AFTER MAKING LANDFALL,
MOST MODELS INDICATING ONCE IT
DOES IT COULD BE ANYWHERE FROM
7 TO 15 INCHES OF RAIN.
COULD HAVE SOME DEVASTATING
IMPACTS.
IMPACTS.
IMPACTS. STILL HAVE TIME TO TRACK THAT,
MONITOR IT FOR YOU.
HEAT ADVISORY NOT IN EFFECT
HERE.
HERE.
HERE. TEMPERATURES TOPPING OUT IN THE
MID TO UPPER 90s.
FEELING UP TO ABOUT 105.
WE'LL CONTINUE ALL THROUGHOUT
THE DAY TODAY TO TALK A LOT
MORE ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN
