It's not going through an EWRC, at least not yet.

it safe to say I will lose weight during the hurricane on my only Pop-Tart reserves or will my beer offset it?
I'm no nutritionist, but I've been mostly eating Pop Tarts and Wheat Thins and ham sandwiches for the last 3 months and I've lost 10+ lbs. No beer at all though.

So I just read the NWS had to add the purple rainfall category for this graphic. They didn't have one for 20+ inch predictions on tropical systems.

We made a post earlier on FB:
"It has been 4,322 days or 12 years since a major hurricane struck the United States. That unprecedented streak may end Friday if Harvey makes landfall as a Cat 3 with winds of 115 mph like the National Hurricane Center is now forecasting."
People commented with this:
Seriously?

The public, they are a fickle bunch.

The news media totally exaggerated Sandy. It wasn't even a tropical storm.

We're getting it seems hourly updates now:
Hurricane Harvey Intermediate Advisory Number 19A
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL092017
100 AM CDT Fri Aug 25 2017
...DANGEROUS HURRICANE HARVEY STRENGTHENING...
...WINDS REACH 105 MPH...
SUMMARY OF 100 AM CDT...0600 UTC...INFORMATION
-----------------------------------------------
LOCATION...25.6N 95.1W
ABOUT 210 MI...335 KM SE OF CORPUS CHRISTI TEXAS
ABOUT 210 MI...335 KM SSE OF PORT OCONNOR TEXAS
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...105 MPH...165 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...NW OR 315 DEGREES AT 10 MPH...17 KM/H
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...967 MB...28.56 INCHES
At 100 AM CDT (0600 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Harvey was located
near latitude 25.6 North, longitude 95.1 West. Harvey is moving
toward the northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h), and this general
motion is expected to continue with a decrease in forward speed
during the next couple of days. On the forecast track, Harvey will
approach the middle Texas coast later today and make landfall Friday
night or early Saturday. Harvey is then likely to stall near or
just inland of the middle Texas coast through the weekend.
Reports from Air Force and NOAA Hurricane Hunter planes indicate
that the maximum sustained winds have increased to near 105 mph (165
km/h) with higher gusts. Some additional strengthening is possible,
and Harvey is expected to become a major hurricane before it reaches
the middle Texas coast.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105
miles (165 km).
The latest minimum central pressure recently reported by both
reconnaissance planes was 967 mb (28.56 inches).

Wasn't sandy a tropical storm? Super storm sandy arse strikes again

Euro is running stronger and has shifted slightly to the north through 48 hours.

It was a post tropical system when it made landfall, but still had hurricane strength winds. It was a perfect storm just because of angle of approach with the storm surge.

This is why a Cat 4 is looking like almost a certainty and a Cat 5 isn't out of the question.

Sandy was extratropical, but had winds of 80mph at landfall in the US.

About 2 1/2 hours later, Sandy made landfall near Brigantine, New Jersey,[32] with winds of 80 mph (130 km/h)

Honest moment... I'm sick of deciding which qualifying adjectives/adverbs to use to describe shite. Like "slightly" or "significantly"... I'd rather say, "this shite is headed your way, or it might not, idk... and the models don't either".

Not only was she extra-tropical, the winds weren't major status/
