This guy is on Rush saying these forecasters are bunk, breaking it down:

Every new frame looks better... something is going on down there. Bad news for the short term is that the western side has really popped. This seems to want to drag the eye west for at least a time. I'm still not convinced houston is out of trouble. The heaviest should miss them, but any jog west is not so good at this point.
And no cops looting along side of the pukes. No cop cars taken to safe area either or mayors buying homes in safe towns and no wild blame game started by locals.
The winds are hitting later on....look at all that yellow on the radar
Hahaha!!! That figures. If the LEOs all left I sure the heck would not stick around either!
Ok, half of Conroe is in the bubble. I have no idea what half I am in LOL
It may not be related but the wind here is Austin has picked up over the past 2 hours.
I'll bet old Miles retired to take up fiction writing; that sounds like "It was a dark and stormy night..." material.
Yea, is that yellow for hurricane force winds, or is that showing tropical storm winds too?
Alicia was in 83
Your cops are handing out free gas.....NOLA cops looted it
Hey! I have a color monitor! Amber is a color!
LOL
Some decent lightning near the core now, the eye looks MUCH better than just an hour ago. Kinda creepy to see it doing this right now.
Ok....
Just stumbled across this model from 0000UTC that shows HOUSTON still a Bullseye for this storm!

Can the knowledgable ones explain why the midels are all diverging at once?
Speaking of Stephanie Abrams, she's showing us flooding that is already happening on the west side of Galveston Island (the part not protected by the seawall).
Yep. Kinda like the old west. For the most part our good guys are good and the bad guys - well, the smart ones know to stay away from the good guys and the regular folks.
Rain bands and thirty-five mph winds down here in New Iberia. My company is closed today. Your's is open?
Steve,
We had 3 evacuation zones. Galveston, and coastal were zone A. Nobody EVER said "just go". Do not believe what the media portrayed this thing as. 18 hours before landfall, and we are done. Compare and contrast to the New Orleans evacuation.
Most of the 45 occupants were elderly. :-(
