Unreal...if you look at the latest sat image it looks like an eyewall replacement cycle might be going on...if this is truly the case...she might be bombing out as we speak. If this new eyewall lasts 36-hours it will mean she will have a fresh one upon landfall.
I am thinking 145-sustained/165 gusts at landfall late Friday night early Saturday morning...north of Galveston.
I was kinda hoping that she'd shoot her wad real early, but most of the weather guys on the news nets don't seem to be looking for a lot of weakening, maybe down to a 4. But every little bit would help. Prayers for the folks in harm's way.
Now all we need is for her to speed up to about 15kt and just get it all over with. What a nightmare.
