ATL: HARVEY - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[TheAustinMan]

A storm of this character this close to land is a rare sight... glad to have GOES-16 keeping high temporal resolution on this.

Looks like it's letting off the accelerator as it approaches the coast.

Euro had something similar a few runs ago...can you imagine this not going inland then tracking up the coast!!

That is very unlikely. None of the latest model guidance is showing this happening.

I agree with you, but with all due respect, the models also just had a tropical storm coming to TX just three days ago..

Storm chaser Jeff Pitrowski was in Rockport, I believe, and was live. Lines were coming down all around and he didn't have much cover. Suddenly it went off line, probably cell tower, but keep him in your prayers.

He packed it in and went for cover.

EDIT : Nevermind he's back out there with roofs being blown off houses.

Hurricanetrack camera, I believe this is in Port O'Conner but maybe someone familiar with the area can confirm.

I posted that same link awhile back. It says it periodically switches between CC and Port O'Conner.

Yea it is in Port O' Connor. Right on Park St.

I don't think Harvey's slowing down. I think he's turning around. Early.

The sooner he makes the turn, the better for Texas !

[jaguars_22]

Yes port o Connor and it's getting bad in Victoria

S-Gale is from Corpus Christi, it think

[Michele B]

Hmmmmmmmm! The speed has slowed from 10 mph to 8.... So, CAT 5?

Since it looks like he is starting to stall nothing is out of the question, right now it is a wait and see game.

This storm has done just about everything possible for the worst human toll possible.

My God, My God....

If that's not landfall it's darn close

[dexterlabio]

It's not very often that we see major canes making landfall at peak strength, especially in the US. Harvey really had that look of bombing out right before touchdown, one of the few cases where the EWRC causes RI in less than 6 hours. Getting a Haiyan vibes with this, but hopefully the flooding and ocean surge won't be as deadly.

Yeah, thank you. Just saw he was able to start broadcasting again. When he went out transformers were blowing everywhere and signs flying, some roof debris, etc.
