On the last radar sequence (covering about 40 minutes I think) I saw due north motion, with perhaps a hint of an eastward component in the eye. Perhaps. But north, yes.
din't want to jump out there by myself and say so...we need other eyeballs checking this out....

There's no eastward movement in the Lake Charles radar returns.
Frank Billingsly who has been the NBC weatherman in Houston who has been a big time drama king has looked down the past 30 minutes. He said that people that are very stressed out and panicked from Houston should start breathing a sigh of relief. He said it looks like it will be moving toward Louisiana.
I feel sorry for all of those people who were on the road for 18-24 hours.
The unfortunate thing about this for Houston is that the next time there is a big storm like this, most Houstonians/Galvestonians will stay put and this could be deadly next time around.
