Heads up Tx. coast.

Tropical Storm Hanna is now being predicted to be a hurricane when it hits land.  Looks like Corpus Christie & south will catch most of it, but this might increase wind speeds in other areas & maybe rain totals too.

YIKES!

Stay safe!

Yes, stay safe....some areas getting 6" of rain per hour or more...90mph winds....possible life threatening storm surge.  Was watching parts of a pier come apart in the waves as the eye was hitting land.

You don't really ever want to be in one either...voice of near experience here.  I haven't been in one full on, but I have been in the residual that kept coming thru our area.  70mph straight winds can do as much damage as a tornado.  I've been on the edges of tornados too, when I still lived in Ill.  I have not experienced an earthquake large enough to really feel even though I did live in the LA area of Ca. for 3 yrs. back in the 60's.  But we had a tornado when I was out there...in the Inglewood area.
A hurricane feels like it's never going to stop....they are still going to get pounded all night tonight & tomorrow too in the S. Tx. area.

I think the Gulf coast areas need to keep an eye on the one headed into the Caribbean...it may end up in Tx. also....haven't seen a cone projection that far for it yet.
