Red dot is where our place is at, looks like it's going roll right over the top of it or what's left of it anyway. No words.

Where did you evac to?

Hope the best for you.

I don't want to give you false hope and I'm not an professional or anything, but there's some chance the *very* worst of it will slip just north of Rockport. It's going to be a very close call.

It will still be a bad blow, but you just might have it miss the worst.

Sorry baw. Are any buildings close to your place that may block the wind some/any?

Good luck

Hunkered down just East of San Antonio, have friends that stayed in Rockport I've been checking with them via text message. They are regretting it now, keep them in prayers, our stuff can be replaced my friends can't. Our place is just north of Rockport about 6 miles are so about 100' from the water's edge of St Charles Bay.

91 mph gusting to 115 at Aransas Pass. I'm somewhat surprised that the anemometer is still working. This is usually about the wind level where some start failing due to damage.

Secondary impacts are notoriously hard to forecast. The initial impact has so many variables that frick up intensity, steering, vertical development, etc. that is impossible for the models too assimilate it all. Just going to have to wait and see on SWLA.

Thanks

Just trying to make plans in case

Did that already. Got to get some more gas though

my brothers at his house in palacios he says it looks like a bomb went off in his yard
and it just started

Trouble already for Houston? Watch the evolution of that convection in the black circle this evening. The HRRR is spitting out 12-16" over the eastern half of Houston tonight.
