For a reference point, Katrina was a 3...
Hurricane Ike was a pretty big deal for Galveston/ Houston at a 2 and caused significant damage all the way to Cincinnati, Ohio

Katrina had some extenuating circumstances that made it a lot worse than the average 3. Not really a great reference point to use.
Katrina was also a 5 until just before landfill. It filled the entire gulf with its cloudprint.

Minimal decrease in forward speed and an earlier landfall time...makes me feel not as good about forward inland movement, and more concerned about Austin seeing more of an impact than what is currently forecasted.
Just a thought but would this reduce the chance that this thing heads back out to the gulf? I realize this would not be a good thing for the effected area on the surface, but staying over land would be good in that it would rip it completely apart.
what say you?

The bloggers at wunderground are claiming 94 kt and 946 mb. Cant verify that atm. If so yikes.
Harvey's winds have consistently lagged the pressure. If/when they catch up, watch out.

I thought my work management would do the right thing and let us have off today to get out of Houston, but I guess someone's gotta watch movies at work today, which is what im doing.

Fox8 is saying it potentially could move north while still in Texas now
Isn't there a truism that major hurricanes go where they want regardless of what is around them and that direction is usually poleward?

If this storm would have hit New Orleans, would the city just be fricked forever? 20+ inches of rain with fricked up pumps

Katrina attained Cat 5 status on the morning of August 28, a short 26 hours after becoming a Cat 3. Then 24 hours later right at landfall it was a 3. But sustained Category 4 winds existed on land while the eye was over water.

NAVGEM is back to showing a secondary (quaternary ;) ) landfall in SW LA

Nah, with the statues down the water would have hardly even been noticed.

One of the local guys here in laffy said that there's minimum chance of Harvey re-entering GOM.. any truth to this at all?

How original.

There's a minimal chance it doesn't re-enter.

Crazy. Forecasting multiple landfalls is tricky.

I was supposed to go to Austin and see customers on Tuesday but I don't thin that will happen.
