Whoa momma.
She's a cane Now?
When did you get upgraded to a cane?
She's starting to look mean. The dry air to the west of her looks like it's either moving west or she's pushing it.
LOL, I just pinged you on the earlier thread to see if a new one might be appropriate.
Hope these cane threads doesn't kick FR out again. ;o)
(Sorry, I can't resist... Not exactly a Susan B Anthony thread...)
Yikes.
Well, she has started to get her act together. Pretty quickly.
Exploded into a full-blown hurricane in 3 hours. Amazing.
So I can find the thread as she gets closer.
FWIW 18Z models are shifting N and now imply an extreme S Texas hit.
Storm is maintaining a decent N of W component of motion.
