They said landfall is still 2 hours out


Landfall is when the midpoint of the eye is over land. The eyewall comes in ahead of it.

TWC worried LC is just going to miss the eye to the west. Really sucks.

Looks like my call of a Cameron landfall yesterday may prove right.

Rainy. Windy. Nothing awful.

We still have electricity but no cable — electric pole went down in hood behind mine and they have electricity but no one has cable.

The edge of the northern eyewall is 15 mi from Cameron. So less than an hour if shes still moving at 16mph.

Sorry math got me there haha.

Maybe let us know if tornado warnings start popping up north or east of LC area?

That is sustained, gusts, or it can't differentiate?

Maybe for insurance purposes, a tornado warning prior to a hurricane landfall and the inevitable storm surge may help the homeowners in their upcoming battle with the insurance companies.


No, it won’t. Unfortunately. They would have to prove damage was caused by something other than the named hurricane. Insurance companies are much like casinos—they always win.
