His exact words were, "A hurricane will broach Texas"

I didn't understand the word broach at first:

Broach (sailing) is a sudden change in heading angle of a sailboat, towards the wind caused by wind/sail interactions, that hull hydrodynamic reactions can't compensate for. This is principally due to the aerodynamic force on the rig greatly exceeding the hydrodynamic force on the hull, usually due to a sudden increase in wind strength.
[Such as a tropical storm that was about to drift out, but generated hurricane strength in a couple hours' time.]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broach_%28sailing%29


  • Broach (submarine) Submarines operating submerged are said to have broached the surface when a portion of the ship (such as the sail, bow, or screw) other than a mast or antenna comes out of the water. This is similar in intent, if not in 3-D direction, to the use of broach to describe instability in heading of a sailing ship.
