Harvey is unbelievable considering the state it was in most of the last week.

Harvey is unbelievable considering the state it was in most of the last week.

Count me in as a skeptic back then, but I'm usually so when it comes to the Atlantic the past decade after some false alarms. But Harvey is the real deal. I hope remnants gives us at least 3" of rain...

Also the models are beginning to hint that Harvey loops around where it makes landfall for days never really pushing east...this has the potential to go down as one of if not the greatest flood events in US history. The area near Port Aransas to Victoria may set some US rainfall records.

I got a half inch just out of that one little rain band I posted about previously.

The only models that even had Harvey really a major consistenly were the hypey models no one really believes I'm just amazed

And yes the flooding is gonna be something talked about decades from now

Here comes landfall

18z GFS says Harvey misses the trough and sits over Texas for a week+

[Brent]

just unbelievable

Widespread destructive winds of 115 to 145 mph will spread across
Calhoun County, Aransas County, Nueces County, San Patricio
County, Refugio County, producing swaths of tornado-like damage.

How does this compare to Katrina at landfall? As I recall she was weakening as she approached.

I sure wish I was in Texas right now!

How does this compare to Katrina at landfall? As I recall she was weakening as she approached.

Katrina made landfall as a Cat 3 125mph but she was considerably larger and stronger at her peak. Harvey is a rapidly strengthening storm as it is approaching and looking better near landfall. Technically Harvey is stronger coming in at Cat 4 near landfall 130mph but Katrina is notorious because of New Orlean's vulnerability.

CAT. 4!
