It has to start weakening once the eye is over land. Friction is a real thing and it will drag even the strongest storms down. Given how much it was intensifying we're probably seeing the latent effects of a hurricane maxing out, but now it should be starting to erode.

any second now.


I believe Andrew strengthened for a little while after landfall, but I'd imagine the terrain is a LOT different from the marshiness of Florida.


Actually, looking on Google Earth.. the terrain and marshlands are not that different than Florida in the Rockport area. Very flat land with large bays and marshlands.

What do you think is going to happen next? Will Harvey go north and dissipate over the Texas Hill Country or will go inland a bit and bounce back towards the coast? Models back when it was over water I have seen show both (I know models are discussed elsewhere) - but now we have landfall - where is Harvey going??? Is there any serious steering?

I believe Andrew strengthened for a little while after landfall, but I'd imagine the terrain is a LOT different from the marshiness of Florida.


Actually, looking on Google Earth.. the terrain and marshlands are not that different than Florida in the Rockport area. Very flat land with large bays and marshlands.

It's not slowing down too much....it will, but not for a bit.

I can confirm, although it's not to the same scale as the Florida Everglades or costal Louisiana though. A friend of my dad actually took me alligator hunting in this area last September. I was actually in Port Lavaca for the 55th anniversary of the Hurricane Carla landfall.

We might see Josh & Company set the record for the longest time spent in the eye of a major hurricane in a single storm. They could be in there for hours if he continues to plod.

There are marshes along the coast. Once you get about 20 miles inland it is dry enough to see mesquite trees.

If there is one silver lining, the damage is primarily from wind and not storm surge.

That kind of wind damage can typically be sheltered from and is survivable (although very challenging and requires tornado-like precautions). By contrast, if we were watching Katrina-like storm surges, people would be drowning suddenly and floating away without a trace.

Polygonal eyewalls aren't that uncommon. You know the Isabel pictures with the weird pentagon shapes in the eye? It's similar to that.

Not necessarily, there has been talk of the "Brown Ocean Effect" being done here. With all the saturated land around, all the warm water feeding it, and the land is pretty much flat so not that much friction.
