Can’t really answer that, but depending on where you are, you could see some hurricane force wind gusts.

Timmer just reported an 80 mph gust. Power lines will be down soon.

Around Sargent, TX. He's going to be close to the eye. San Bernard National Refuge for official landfall has a nice ring to it.

Yep. Keep in mind, she will probably hook a tad N and NNE upon landfall, so most of metro area will experience sustained hurricane force winds. Get ready. She comin’

I doubt I get any sleep tonight. Too excited for sleep.

Wind is picking up incrementally in League City. No big rain yet, although we’ve had it off and on throughout the day

Here we go. Stay safe

I’ve been sitting out in my garage man-cave all day.

I’ll be out here until I can’t any longer

Dogs just got their 2nd dose of Trazodone for the day. They’re high as Hell. Lol. Poor
