I'm not sure the eye made it to Cameron. It looks like it's still offshore, heading to Port Arthur. That thing that hit Cameron was pretty impressive though, might as well have been the eye.

The center of circulation looks to come ashore ten miles west of Holly Beach, LA in the next 20-30 minutes.

Looks like the what's left of the northern eye wall just touched land just east of Sabine Pass. It will be interesting to see if Port Arthur ends up getting any storm surge out of this. It will be pretty tricky whether or not it ends up being on the west or east side of this.

Landfall will most likely be on the LA side of border and LA has gotten the dirty side of the storm.

We are talking just a few miles here. The main destruction will be east of the storm in La. I am praying for all of the folks that decided to stay and for the one's that left(Their homes) Both Texas & La
