Thanks. I can't remember ever seeing a storm with the same strength sustained winds 90 miles out as within the inner eyewall. That, and the very strong weather still affecting Eastern Cuba (in the graphic posted above). I am awestruck.

I appreciate your thoughts.

As the track is now Houston/Galveston will see some significant problems. The GFDL, which the NHC typically likes, has had several runs in a row that would probably be disastrous. NHC put watches up pretty early and are bullish with predicting a category 4 at landfall, so hopefully warnings to get away from the coast will be listened to.

Now you are starting to worry me. Maybe I ought to pack my bags tonight, head out from Houston.
