I’m willing to bet this nice house isn’t there anymore.

Shame. The number total for this storm’s destructiveness will be humonguous.

TVS on hi-res radar, NW of Rockport.

Parsing Youtube, several incidents of F1...F2 damage. Pieces of walls, roofs, missing, taped during eye hiatus.

As opposed to F4 or F5 thru out. Fingers crossed the trend continues.

I wonder how disappointed/angry Congresspeople from Hurricane Sandy states will react when Texas and nearby states beg for money to recover?

I responded in Comment #608 that it appeared that the General and Trump seemed to have the media part in hand. I live in the Mid-Atlantic area and the MSM here was reporting on Trump’s concern for the hurricane in what appeared to me to be timely. The other issue is the vacancies in top appointments for FEMA and related organizations. I hope we don’t have another “Brownie” problem.

Downgraded to Cat 3 as of 2 am EDT, unconfirmed report of a “row of homes down in Port Aransas or Rockport.”

Looks like it might eventually head to Dallas as just a rain maker. Folks in Dallas want some rain, but not 20 inches at once...

It seems the eye is now fully over land and the storm is weakening as I hoped. The more inland it goes, the less chance of it being fed by the Gulf heat and moisture. I’m seeing more and more models with the storm passing west of Houston and dumping rain over the I-35 corridor. That is actually a blessing (depending on where you live, of course) but this path should result in less damage to the upper Gulf Coast including Houston although a stronger effect on places like Austin, Waco and Dallas than originally forecasted.

As you think about this, a moment of remembrance should be shared for the town of Indianola, Texas. Never heard of it? It’s because the town, located near where Harvey struck tonight, was wiped out in the 1860s by a major hurricane. The townspeople rebuilt only to be wiped out again by another hurricane in the 1880s. This time, they merely fled. Only a few historical markers are left of Indianola, TX. Today, a footnote in history but a reminder to all that region of the Gulf Coast that mother nature has visited before.

Many of those tracks show it going far inland, toward DFW.

Prayers UP for everyone in the path of this storm !

Kelly isn’t responsible for the admin’s media. Hope Hix is, presently.

Naw. I lived close to the Gulf for a while. Now I am 100 miles inland. I saw what happened after Hurricane Alicia in 83 on the island. Didn’t want to be any part of that.
