God knows we’ve had worse in this state. At least unlike 1900, we had pleanty of warning this time.

Have you read Isaac's Storm about that hurricane? I've thought about that book a lot over the last couple of days.

Maybe FOX has an outdated radar? The radar on FOX showed the eye center over Galveston a few minutes ago.

has to do with the sustained kinetic energy of the water bashing things

yep I've been following the surge story. It's scary on the coast.

As another poster remarked; the storm isn’t as powerful as Katrina, but is massive in it’s size... where the cumulative effect may come close to equaling the damage of Katrina... we’ll see.

Cleveland Eh? My best friend in the AF was from N. Canton. (I was best man at his wedding)

I was always off guard as a kid as to the weather, I kinda miss that. Those folks in Galveston in 1900 sure could have used this knowledge however.

No, but that is on my reading list.

I did do some reading about the engineering and thought that went into the reconstruction of Galveston and the building of the Seawall. The Seawall is, surprisingly, not considered a structure of importance outside of Texas, but it is really a monumental achievement. I’m not sure there’s another seawall in the US that could take what people estimate the Seawall is capable of withstanding.

It may be overtopped, but I don’t think it will ever be breached.

LOL..I am set and prepared.
Yes..It looks like the path is going way east of me..so I’ll just get rain and a strong breeze.
It’s just that this storm is so large!
