Re:
I know the recon thread with the raw messages are hard to read when you are not used to them: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=102265&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=280
They are SE of the system by about 60 miles or so and are headed there. So far nothing too interesting. Probably not interesting til they are within 20-30 miles.

Bolivar Peninsula is the barrier island like feature Northeast of Galveston Island. I guess it isn't an island, or they wouldn't call it a Peninsula. I think it joins the mainland near Winnie.

Based on what the TWC just showed he is not headed toward Houston.

In that case that's what I'm talking about when I say NE tip of Galveston island. Obviously I don't know much about the area haha so what I'm thinking then is a landfall right on the Bolivar Peninsula.

Well like LaBreeze just said... local met showed the radar and it looks like the center of the storm per the local doppler radar is close to 30 miles from the coast of Louisiana. Unless his center is incorrect, this storm may be making landfall sooner than later.

Re: ATL: Tropical Storm Edouard - Gulf of Mexico
IIRC, High Island isn't an island, but a slight rise in elevation caused by a salt dome. I have a geologist friend that believes 'The Heights' in Houston is the last Gulf Coast salt dome unexplored for oil and natural gas.
Platform near Marsh Island, LA, not quite standard elevation, but at 23 meters lower than most oil platform anemometers, sustained TS winds.
Bad evening to be fishing off that platform...

They show him headed toward the TX/La border per their forecast points
based on his "current" track.

As crazy as it looks, it really does seem to be moving towards SW LA
