Preach it, Dog. Any hurricane forecaster worth their salt will tell you they have the most difficult time with intensity forecasts as opposed to track forecasts. Folks on the upper Texas coast have to prepare now like a hurricane will be there in 48 hours.

The NHC said it would get to 4o knots within 24 hours. It got to that within 15 minutes of them saying that.

So they were right.

Looks like the upper coast will get very wet. Hopefully without the winds.
