How ironic would it be if it hit Galveston.
If you go somewhere and pull the putative track for the Galveston storm this one isn’t too dissimilar from it. THAT would be a nightmare. You just *think* gas prices are awful now. That path would take out most oil/gas production wells in the gulf for a while. Not to mention Port Fourchon LOOP.
Stormpulse has it heading for New Orleans.
