I wanted to respect its privacy.
I’m 140 now but when I was 18 I told an Aggie joke to an alumni
NEVER did that but once
I’m seeing landfall around 2-3 AM ET.

What the joke?
What was the joke?
Dry air south quadrant eyewall?
Love it!
Dry air south quadrant eyewall?
maybe...but huge tall eyewall on the now on north side may be weakening the radar beam from anything downstream
looks better out of Houston...although no perfect
so most likely some of both
Just the fact that radars have a hard time seeing the southern eyewall between blockage from the northern eyewall and curvature of the Earth. As the storm gets closer, the radar will fill in.
Good advice....
HOUSTON — Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner is asking Houstonians to stay off the roads starting Wednesday night at 8 p.m. He said it will make things easier for first responders as Hurricane Laura makes its way through the region.
Yep, don’t underestimate what it could do in Kentucky, Virginia, etc. Camille killed over 100 in Virginia, alone.

Correct but eye also looking ragged on IR now..was almost a perfect circle
will see if recon reports an open or weak eyewall on this pass on the south side
Watching the Weather Channel’s webcam in Cameron La, I can’t but help wonder if there are any people there who decided to ride it out?
One of the storm chasers set remote cameras in various locations. The Cameron feed is one of those.

Town wiped out from surge By Rita then almost again by IKE
Most people live in trailers and only few have rebuilt homes due to high insurance rates
short answer: hell no
Thanks for all of the updates. Hopefully we can get a little weakening before that eyewall gets to shore.
