Just watched a very interesting video.
Live stream coverage, from a car, in Rockport Texas.
It was the first half of the storm.
Apparently, they're setting up at another location now, for the other side of the eye.
Very interesting.
But it was darned good video, I thought.

Amazing stuff. Jeff is a now a legend!
Wow, they are more than a little bit insane.
Thank you. Harvey is a monster.
>>>Harvey is a monster<<<
No, Harvey is a Pooka.
A 6’2” Pooka that looks like a Rabbit.
So is the blue shed.
Been watching it since he started. Insane. Bad idea parking next to that Walmart concrete panel. Squish.
I just checked two weather stations currently in the eye. Neither of them got above 90 mph when the eyewall passed. They did get some gusts over 100, though.
I wonder what the elevation is there with all that rain on the way.
I have been in 70 mph sustained wind. Check out close to the end of jeffs first periscope and tell me that is between 90 and a 100. No friggin way. Steel I beams buckling. Roofs flying off that are anchored into brick columns via i beams. That was a hell of a lot more than a 90 to a hundred mile an hour eye wall.
They are well above storm surge levels. I heard them calibrating their barometers. Something like 16 feet as I recall with no waterway inundation points close. Jeff was discussing how two streets over are most likely under water because of the surge.
Harrrvey?
Hey, Harvey. This guy said "Harvey" is a funny name.
Love this guy. He’s a nut. He chases tornadoes as well.
The Weather Channel’s ‘Hurricane Doctor’ needs this one, so get with the program!
I watched it last night thought he was going to get killed.
That’s a 21st Century A-V freelancer for you. He’d have been safer standing halfway up the perimeter fence at Langley Air Force Base. /s
