The media is attempting to make something out of nothing so to speak. True enough there are power outages around the area but damage is minimal at best.... But I don’t think the damage will bad to equipment but more likely fuses, etc thus hopefully power will be restored much more rapidly.

Light winds, <30 mph basically with rain mixed in and out as the bands pass over. One of our local tv stations has multiple weather stations set up around the area [schools,businesses, etc] and looking at them there isn’t the sustained wind the national weather group is talking about. They basically are poop poop the info.

Looks like it came on shore between Sabine Pass and High Island.

Looks like it kinda got stuck on the coast for now and appears to be moving more westerly right now, have to wait and see if she stalls for any period of time. If it wobbles another 50 miles west flooding could be a big problem.
