My guess would be Pecan Island. But I just got up and really haven't done any runs yet. I will know for sure in a few hours. :sleeping:

Jefferson County, TX just east of High Island, west of Sabine Pass.

Intensity is much harder...

Still think there's a chance it could go west of Galveston.

Just from watching the radar loop, I believe 5 miles either side of the Chambers county, Jefferson County line. Time 0230. 130mph.

Like the traveler, I say at High Island, which is where he described. Time should be around 6 am give or take an hour. Intensity is a crap shoot imo, but I will go with 125 mph with gusts to 140. That will bring it right up the Far East side of the Houston Metro area along the East side of Galveston and Trinity Bays.

The hard NE quadrant shoulder is going to impact Cameron and Lake Charles.

Storm will miss Galveston/Houston. Gusts and west side surge there, but less than previously expected.

Storm has rebounded sending heavy burst to Galveston side. Storm is still wide and massive and has pushed back dry air. Rebound maintaining 125mph.

Lafayette will receive slightly higher effects to hurricane force and above under deepening core...
