Thanks. I love the way you break it down.
Im cancelling vacation to Corpus area next week.
I see no way around it now. But its not me I feel sorry for, its our TX coast FReepers.
The sat loop really shows the intense storms folding completely around to form the circle now as the storm itself seems to be growing in size.
Hopefully Corpus will be spared. TX has a lot of area that could take a big hit without much damage/death. I remember seeing a cat 4/5 hit the coast a few years back, and it really only hit some farmland. Unfortunately, the greater population areas are in the region it seems to want to go. I just hope it doesn't come in just south of one of the bays... that could be a big mess.
She is looking pretty good right now, some high clouds over the eye... should clear later. We'll probably have a pretty classic looking storm by later this evening.
