That first rain band looks rough. This thing better do a 90 degree turn soon.

Looks like that's IR temp output not radar. That band is not near as bad as it looks

It's times like these you realize that our way back ancestors didn't have access to technology and understand that a storm like this was coming. I mean, look at the video posted above - looks like a normal day and we're 12 hours from devastation.
Could you imagine a 12-foot storm surge and then this mammoth storm that seemingly came out of nowhere with no warning? It kills all of your cattle, drowns your crops, and half of your friends. You can kind of understand why they thought it was God punishing them, etc.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indianola,_Texas
Indianola is a ghost town located on Matagorda Bay in Calhoun County, Texas, United States. The community, once the county seat of Calhoun County, is a part of the Victoria, Texas, Metropolitan Statistical Area. In 1875, the city had a population of 5,000, but on September 15 of that year, a powerful hurricane struck, killing between 150 and 300 and almost entirely destroying the town. Indianola was rebuilt, only to be wiped out on August 19, 1886, by another intense hurricane, which was followed by a fire.
Louis L'amour's book Matagorda is set around the time of the 1875 storm.

so the plan is to just hope it turns?

According to 3 different radars it hasn't started turning and is hugging the west side and outside the west side of the cone as far out as 7:30

Stolen from the Storm2k forum. Appears to be hugging the west side of the cone.
I have no clue if it's a possiblity, but I wonder if Laura's rapid intesification (faster than was predicted) is allowing it to overcome the pressure ridge in TX that was helping to steer it North?Aggie_3 said:

Hope so. Even a slight nudge would be an improvement for rain chances.TexAg2001 said:I have no clue if it's a possiblity, but I wonder if Laura's rapid intesification (faster than was predicted) is allowing it to overcome the pressure ridge in TX that was helping to steer it North?Aggie_3 said:

I sure hope the fact that the weather channel and all other news station are correct in not even mentioning Houston anymore...because it seems like a lot of us here think differently! Hope we are wrong! Would be absolutely catastrophic if it didn't turn.

What is the other cone?
Thank you for posting that radar. I think people are truly enjoying the fear rush of this storm and are glomming onto literally anything they can after it has been apparent in the last 12 hours Laura was heading to LA side of the border. Of course fully recognizing things can still change.Ag_07 said:Cromagnum said:

Digging around a little bit I found this bit of history. In 1886 when Indianola was destroyed by a suspected Cat 4, the area around Sabine Pass was also destroyed by a different Cat 3 storm. There apparently were four Texas strikes that year.plain_o_llama said:CoachRTM said:
