    obviously, that's wrong, but the models are not from that site. the erroneous commentary is bad although.

    Has anyone else noticed this.


    The past few hours the storm has weakened the pressure has gotten all the way up to 915mb. During this time frame the western side of the storm seemed to be sheering a bit. Check out the radar loops to see what I am talking about.

    But now with the latest advisory the pressure has dropped by only one mb to 914mb BUT the western side seems to be building itself back up. And the storm is starting to once again look full.

    Possibly a second chance for it to intenseify before landfall.

    something about rebuilding the eyewall is/was occurring . supposedly, the 915 mb is more than strong enough to sustain a cat 5.

    my dad wont leave lake chuck, but they are about 25 miles inland.

    This site's been right for every hurricane the past few years in the Gulf.

    They are still saying Galveston to Freeport area, and that means Houston will catch it very hard. Better get out of Houston today while you can with 100+ mph winds coming.

    On Hannity's radio show, Joe Bastardi said he will stake his reputation on landfall being 25 miles either side of Galveston. Then, he said it will follow I-45 and eventually make a southerly turn, heading into South Texas.

    Mix in a map there FT. It will make landfall traveling NNE and continue in a northerly direction, then turn south. Since you missed your geography classes, please be informed that Texas is one big ass state.
