The thing is, at the end of the day we are still going to say how this whole area dodged a MASSIVE bullet. I’ve been paying attention to hurricanes for 20 years, and I have never seen a storm like Ike. If thing ever got its act together, we could’ve been talking about a CAT4 storm that’s this large and Houston would just about be destroyed.

I seriously have never seen a storm with this low of pressure, under this upper-level environment and over this bathwater take this long to get its internal structure together. Every new satellite image, I think “Hey, it’s finally developing a clear eye”, and the next one destroys it.

Oy.

Anyway, just had to rant. This is going to be interesting. Please pray for everyone down there.

The scary thing is that this is not even worst case for this storm.

Here's worst case
