Oh, and you might ask the residents of Rockport, TX whether the forecast was hype. Or the residents of Puerto Rico.
this system has some of the coldest cloud tops I have ever seen in the Atlantic basin, especially this far north
now the eye seems to be warming too
I think the pressure and wind are lagging the structure some
I have driven along the Gulf of Mexico on two occasions. Once was after Hurricane Camile, I think in 1969, and once was a year after Hurricane Katrina. I have photos I took on the first trip of a cemetery that was at least 10 feet above water level where the stones and mauseleums (sp.) had been ripped and thrown all over the place. I stopped at a boat yard either in Mississippi or nearby in Louisiana. The water had flood it to waist high on the second floor, so I imaging that must have been about 15 feet high. I know that the debris in the tree and bush branches on the far side of the highway were above my head. A lot will depend on if it is low or high tide. Any info on what it will be when the surge hits?

Horrible. Just horrible. In PR during Irma and Maria. And I live in a reinforced concrete house. Can’t imagine being in a plywood and sheetrock structure with one of these going over.
Be safe, everyone in the RR/FL/AL/GA corridor.
