Easy big fella ... E-A-S-Y ... the storm was supposed to be doing this per the modeling and forecasts. I wouldn't be boarding up those windows on the Texas Gulf Coast just yet.
Exactly what I was going to say. The majority of the models had Ingrid moving NNE as the upper low to its NW shifts a bit more to its west tonight. So it's behaving just as forecast. Once the upper low weakens/dissipates and the ridge rebuilds to its north it will take a westerly turn, probably moving inland just north of Tampico. I see the NHC finally came around and is forecasting Ingrid to become a hurricane. Question is, how strong? Cat 2 or 3?
Wow you really think this could make a run at major status? That would be an absolute disaster.
That also would be something huge for this season IMO because Hurricane Alex from 2010 only managed to become a strong Cat.2 with a similar track.
