Large area of TS force winds in the NE quad right now . . . and max FL winds are about the same as they were before.

Astounding.

[drezee]

heights are lower this pass

[WindRunner]

So I saw . . . I think 990 is in the realm of possibility, but seeing that no drops or VDMs have come in . . . I'm getting a little impatient here

After watching this system since September 6th, I must say that it has been interesting to watch unfold.

Just shows how much intensity forecasting continues to be a huge hurdle.

[opera ghost]

13? hours to cat1 and it looks like it would keep on strengthening if it weren't about to run face first into a land mass. Oy vey.

[Steve]

>>We're down to 990 per...

Yeah. And I think we're just about at landfall right now too. Looks like Chambers/Jefferson County line (worst of the weather in Jefferson Co. obviously).

I can't believe, last night at this time we were watching banding developing on radar and wondering hmmmm what's going on during the satellite eclipse. Wake up to a depression in the morning and now going to bed to hurricane. AMAZING what can happen with tropical weather.

[southerngale]

I was watching this "form" last night on radar during the eclipse... as the first rainbands started forming from nothing.

It was but a tiny speck in the GOM about this time last night. Now I have a hurricane bearing down on me.

Unfreakingreal!

[PTrackerLA]

Wow SG our posts are nearly identical! LOL. You're as shocked as I am!

[drezee]

down 2mb in 37 minutes! humberto get onshore now!!!!

Quite a good size area of TS winds . . . extends about 5nm east of the TX/LA border, and very much on the coast.

[SMNederlandTX]

I am in Nederland, TX, right next to Port Arthur...is there going to be any tornado activity? I have seen several people say that this area would be hit real hard.....just would like to know exactly what with?

[Jagno]

I'm no expert but tornadoes are very common with Hurricanes. Not to scare you but I lost my house to a tornado during Rita.
