I saw a report last night on the local news. It seems many will be caught off guard in this area, not because they didn't know the storm was coming there, but because they didn't think it would hit hurricane status. Thanks for the info. Luis. :o Going to be a busy next couple of days in here!

Gauging from what I read in our (Austin, TX) papers this morning, its safe to say that the officials along the TX coast are watching Claudette carefully but that the "regular folk" were indifferent.

Indeed Claudette could catch many by surprise. This strengthening trend and the somewhat erratic movement will make these next 48 hours INTERESTING!

By the way, what a great weather board this is. I've been impressed by the quality of the posts I have seen!

Here is the discussion from the 10 AM CDT advisory.Shear is fading a little bit and that is why it may become a hurricane just prior to landfall.The next 48 hours will be very interesting to follow what she will do next.

Colin, as you know there have been plenty of other tropical cyclones before the 1990's. :)
