Speaking of HTown, with this thing potentially strengthening: this would still just be a rain event for us right?
Got enough to worry about with the 20" rain projections. I don't want to think about strong winds

Agree and am grateful. Trolling a stickied hurricane thread should have severe consequences. That is way worse than porn bombing.
I am following this thread for important updates instead of the news. It is more easily accessed, readable, better illustrated and more reliably cited than any other local online source.
I am scrolling through and just paying attention to the same 4 posters who only post well-cited gifs, links and updates. Posting comments/requests for advice about frickin flight plans or cruises is a waste of everyone's time at this point.

While it may not be this thread specifically, people can at least point them to the travel board where Cuse has done a great job with the flight thread. It may not be life or death, but to that family, it's a big deal.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome!

just keeps going lower and lower on each pass. You can see where the eye is calm, but has the lowest pressure.

True. I see your point.

They're probably going higher soon. Recon found 88kt winds - 101mph - in the NW eye wall, but that dropsonde had 104kt winds not too far from the surface, and the average wind speed in the last 150m was 99kt - 115 MPH.
Usually see those winds make their way to the surface in a strengthening storm.

Yeah actually he popped into this thread around 10:00 this morning. He still lives in Corpus. Was considering evacuating. Don't know if he did or not.

That core is looking majorly put together right now. It'll be easily a major by 7 am if this keeps up.

It sucks that you had to leave your stuff behind but you'll be much better there for now. SATX is 500' elevation and far enough inland that the wind will be much much much less. Just don't go driving around in it or immediately thereafter. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to see people drown that way when it's been said 1,000 times it's dumb to do. It's worse in and around SATX and ATX because of all the limestone creeks that are normally dry but become raging torrents.

For those like me, who have no idea what concentric eyewalls mean:
quote:
Eyewall replacement cycles, also called concentric eyewall cycles, naturally occur in intense tropical cyclones, generally with winds greater than 185 km/h (115 mph), or major hurricanes (Category 3 or above). When tropical cyclones reach this intensity, and the eyewall contracts or is already sufficiently small, some of the outer rainbands may strengthen and organize into a ring of thunderstorms—an outer eyewall—that slowly moves inward and robs the inner eyewall of its needed moisture and angular momentum. Since the strongest winds are in a cyclone's eyewall, the tropical cyclone usually weakens during this phase, as the inner wall is "choked" by the outer wall. Eventually the outer eyewall replaces the inner one completely, and the storm may re-intensify.
