Live report from Texas City: 2:00 am CDT, 13 Sep - Calm

The hotel apparently has pretty serious damage, because the side of the building that lost its roof has serious flooding down to the first floor— the water has gone all the way down to the ground floor and made a mess. A Fox 7 News was interviewing traumatized guests in the lobby.

The wind and rain continued to pound away in streaks, and I saw (and shot) a restaurant next to the hotel losing roof shingles by the cartloads. The weather seemed to peak around 1:20 or 1:30 am or so, and I had a panicky moment when— parked in a totally exposed location— heavy rain and wind reduced visibility to almost zero and the car really shook badly.

But now the wind has really calmed down— the howling has stopped. Quiet... I’ve opened my window and can barely hear the trees rustling... Warm air is coming into the room— very warm. Guests are walking around in front of the hotel, chatting. Calm...

I presume we’re in the eye?
