What the he!!!!!! I knew there was a little low pressure spot about 300nm off Tx. What I didn't expect was to get home last nite & see a Cat-1 Hurricane hitting Galveston! In a span of just over 50 hrs, this little storm increased to hurricane strength. I guess it surprised everyone, because the NOAA had no warnings up yesterday morning. Looks like it made landfall around Port Arthur. weather never ceases to amaze me. Perspective; from about Redhawk to Galveston, weak depression to Hurricane. blows my mind. Bet the fishing will pick up next week..... tight lines -Brian
Yeah, I just talked to my uncle on Bolivar.. he hasnt been out there to check for damage.. He still hasnt finished rebuilding from Rita.. That thing went from a group of thunderstorms to a hurricane in short order..
I'll tell you what, if we have to have a hurricane, that's the right kind to have! And that was a surprise, I got to work yesterday morning and checked the weather and saw that they were talking about it possibly turning into a minimal hurricane or going inland, and possibly, back out over sea and re-developing. Friends at the state told me they had a 1 1/2-hr conference call for emergency response to the storm yesterday. Tom - DBG
