This storm is acting more and more like Alicia and so does the forecasting .If it moves any slower it could intensify significantly. During Alicia it was touted as a minimal storm and just a big rain event and we know how that turned out.
There’s a trip down the memory hole. August 1983 Hurricane Alicia. Bad storm in the Galveston/Houston area. 12ft storm surge, Category 3 winds and tornadoes = widespread destruction. Minimum pressure 962mb.
