Can you please leave that stuff off this thread? We are talking a major hurricane making landfall and then stalling just inland for days. Think Allison’s rains with Ike’s winds.

Amen - Joe Bastardi’s latest guidance suggests that there could be 2 landfalls...both near Category 3.

The first near Corpus Christi, and (after a 2 day loop dumping 2 feet of rain on the area) the second near the LA/TX border.

Regardless of the actual strength it ends up at, that’s a whole lotta “time on target” for the entire Texas Gulf coast.

Potentially, yes. :-)

Been through several, had most of my roof and half my house's siding blown off. Winds are scary but the rain is what will get you. Unless you live at the shore line flooding rain is the worst IMO. Getting 10-20 inches of rain in a few hours can be catastrophic. I've read that coastal TX might be looking at up to 30. Prayers for them!
