Here in Slidell, we have getting bands of wind and clouds but little rain so far. Local radio says the winds are about 17 mph gusting to around 30 mph. We're just getting some of the outer bands.
One of my nephews works at a refinery in Port Arthur. He is part of the recovery crew from what I understand and can't go too far away in case he's needed.

and statistically winters in PA are more fatal then things like hurricanes. Winter is a better serial killer on nice slip on ice here, bad driving conditions there, a heart attack from shoveling wet snow there. It adds up. Pretty much everywhere has it's up and downs at least sometimes they're obvious.We live for the food, the music, the hunting and fishing, the festivals and most of all, the culture.
My fishing camp on the coast is 14 feet off the ground. Get exercise walking up and down.
Well...that was a hell of a storm...stayed a cat 3 even on land...this old boy has learned a valuable lesson after this storm and Hurricane Michael...you can't trust the storms to do as they used to do...now just better get the hell out and come back to what ever is left.
It’s still gusting where I live, and stayed cat 1 just as far north as they said it would. I’m surprised. Looks like Lake Charles got hammered.
The fuel is supposed to be warm ocean water, but I've seen two that came inland and did damage. How they keep churning with no "food" I do not know. Usually, once over dry land, they peter out. It looks like the track skirts north of North Carolina across Virginia, according to the last tracking map I saw, but I think the winds should be blustery and not dangerous by then ... knock on wood (to awaken the nature spirits I guess). Louisiana people, safe passage, and be wary of the flooding after the winds die down. That is usually the worst hazard.
I think both Galveston and Corpus Christi are far enough west that they didn’t see much weather. I think all of Harris County lifted their evac order once the actual track of the hurricane became more obvious.
