Aaarrrrgh! This is what my Allstate guy told me. I'll ask him why.
Aaarrrgh! But we're under very high pressure and it hasn't even begun to think about weakening. I can even see it about the pressure gradient. It gives me a sense of foreboding. Now, the crick in my shoulder which I had gotten rid of over the weekend is back, but I thought that was just because I was back at work and my ergonomics aren't good.
Thanks, good job on putting them in order.
I also found a graphic showing potential storm surge
but only for SE TX. If anyone finds one for Houston it may prove useful.

I found this and a ton of information and maps here:

Not anymore...working for a private wx company
We do preposition, but we just fed a lot of food to our neighbors. I hope we have some left for ourselves. Think the Louisianians would be neighbors to US?
Pressure is not up, and the winds are not up....and it is moving W, not WNW as progged, so the Keys are looking a bit better.
AAAAAAARrgghhh!
(just like the Fedex commercial that's all I can say)
You'd better keep an eye on this one girl. I sort of hope it does hit the Tx coast and bring some rain to Central Tx. We just don't need a CAT 5 hitting Galveston, the Houston or CC areas.
storm surge maps are estimates for a "average" size hurricane...giving the same intensity, the bigger the storm area wise the higher the surge..thats why Katrina had record surge it was very strong and very big...Rita will be large also..
Just a nit picky thing, but last week when Nagin was with the President and Banko.....he was very obviously chewing gum. I think that goes to show his level of respect. I thought it was tacky as heck.

Aaarrrgh! Ye can't be predictin' these things, matey, they does what they wants ta do. Aaaarrrgh! Shiiiiver me timbers.
you may be correct..i thought the speed was 10 MPH for but its 14MPH now...not enough time to get to a Cat 3 now by the keys...also the faster the speed the less time that trough will have to bend it north later..good for LA bad for texas
WOW..check this out..
Click "show flood" to see a graphic of Houston storm surge, also click the Galveston map to see the surge there:

I am thinking straight into Mexico.
Gotta ask because I am basically ignorant about these things. If this thing develops into a significant storm and hits in the worst possible place for Houston, am I safe up here in Montgomery County?
No. I heard that in a news clip an hour or so ago on Fox.
I told her to imagine a steaming hot bathtub filled to the rim with hot water. Then toss an entire case of extra-strength Alka-Seltzer in. Oh. And by the way. Just before you toss the Alka-Seltzer, pull the plug on the tub.
She cringed.
14mph? That's a pretty good clip for a big unorganized storm, isn't it?
Um, don't you think that with all of the shelters being open that things are in place to provide whatever is needed? Come on over if you want to but I would seriously look to moving west of the landfall. Remember most of MS was tore up from Katrina. We are probably going to get something similar. Katrina missed most of the western and northern part of the state.
