    A lot of the new 0z models are now out. Out of all of them the most noticeable shift is with the HWRF which now has Galveston Bay lined up for a hit as well.

    Pretty much the same thing forecast. As for when, from what I've heard, we should expect tropical storm force winds in the mid-afternoon tomorrow and hurricane force winds around midnight Friday lasting until noon on Saturday. We'll still have some wind through Sat afternoon.

    but the pressure hasnt dropped, and its getting close to the coast, will decrease the chances of it increasing.

    Well... maybe, and probably yes.


    I'm familiar with Surfside... there are some road that literally touch the beach, like "Beach Avenue." The pavement touches the sand right where the beach houses sit... so it's probably those roads...

    But yeah... that's already several feet over normal.




    Is that Sarah Palin on Ch. 11? ;)
