Oh boy, here we go again! Hurricane breathing down my neck
I have not been paying any attention to the disturbance in the Gulf. I started hear some mention of a tropical storm Harvey that might make landfall late Friday night on the Texas coast. Then it's "Hurricane" Harvey, expected to maybe get to a Cat 1. Whatever.
All right, now there's a steady stream of people on the highway pulling boats and campers from Sargent (the beach town, 9 miles east of me). Oh come on! @*&%#*! Now it's going to be a Cat 3 with 25 inches of rain? Well, I have my preps ready, plenty of water, batteries, and propane. I hope it doesn't make it to full strength they are saying, I am hoping it's weatherman hype.

Hey! I was in tropical storm Amelia> in '78 delivering kitty litter to Wynn-Dixie stores in Houston. The rivets of my freightliner cab were virtual faucets! Throw in two Minn. tornadoes in 1950's childhood-spent in the basement....and my thoughts are with U! Hopin' it dissipates down to a 'tropical storm' on landfall.

Just saw a wind animation of it, and it does not look good, State governor has called in additional federal aid and warns the population that this is becoming a big one. Hunker down, Neal, and keep your head down and safe. I wish you best luck!
https://earth.nullschool.net/#curren....09,26.44,3000 I watched several taifuns and hurricans on this site in the past years - cannot remember that any of them illustrated such fast rotating eyes (winds at the centre) like this one currently does. Frightening

Additional Federal aid is ongoing. Sequin, Denton, Roseland and of course Fort Worth TX(FEMA distribution center) are staged with relief supplies.
