I don't think it matters at this point. The wind field is very expansive. I don't think we'll see any confirmed cat 4 damage from wind (even though pressure is lower than most cat 3s), but there will be a wide swath of cat 3 damage.
KHOU 11 Houston reporter in downtown Galveston reporting large building fire in 'old district'.
AP reporting 3 buildings on fire, 1 engulfed in flame in historic district of Galveston.
Hurricane Agnes still ranks as Pa.'s worst disaster

You're got a lot of nerve, bringing us to the brink of landfall and bugging out. ;-)
Phillipe is done as far as the NHC is concerned. The 11 pm EDT set of products, which has it being absorbed by the bigger non-tropical low, are the last ones that will be issued.
I have read about that storm but I haven't read the book but I think I will go out and buy it soon
second eyewall may be trying to form
I'm stunned to say that it really has been a non-event for the past 4 hours. I keep looking at the radar for our area, and it looks like the rain just evaporates before it hits Houston. It's kind of strange really. I've been worried sick over this for the past 3 days, and yet as of yet, I haven't even had a drop of rain.
Thank you for your prayers! I know this isn't over yet.
I couldn't reply to your post before...I got locked out of that thread...
You were commenting on Ceci Connolly's pink hat? Code Pink..
I was at the grocery store the other day...and there was a table set up with T-shirts, socks, shorts, umbrellas, etc...all of the them pink and white....
There were for Breast Cancer awareness....but I was so "turned off" by the pink...and what I associate it with --Code Pink...that there is no way I could buy one...even for a cancer charity!
Gee, who's standing ground for this storm and who's not?
Thanks for the info. I appreciate it!
Depends on you definition of "fun"................
Harrah's and the refinery on PPG drive is gonna be in bigger trouble...
CNN guy now saying he hears that the entire block is ablaze with "flames as high as telephone poles". Said they are trying to confirm whether anyone is inside.
Wind is kicking up and it is raining a bit.
I prolly should move away from the computer because a few "groanup"s are starting to tick me off.
Agnes was before my time.
This might turn out to be a lucky break for Houston if there's no damage, but the evacuation forced the NOLA evacuees to go elsewhere.
Across the street from the historical foundation...and across the street from the Opera House...KHOU is onscene.
Saying it's across the street from the Opera House ... 20th Street
