Appears to be a Hurricane in 1886 in the central Texas coast, around 130kt at landfall.



That was the storm that destroyed Indianola on Matagorda Bay




Now there is a nuclear power plant near Matagorda Bay.

It has Aric. Harvey has really slowed down the past couple of hours. Terrible situation!

You would think it would start to weaken from the land interaction pretty soon even if it is not rushing to landfall.

I will say this. Harvey may make landfall, but I can say with confidence he won't get far inland at all. Harvey may stall within only 20 miles of the coast at best imo.

Not sure how you would not know to stay put at this time. Seems like a worse decision than not leaving 24-36 hours ago.
