5 Days!

[Lochloosa]

The latest discussion on Harvey. Sitting in one spot for 5 DAYS.

Harvey still has not slowed down, and the initial estimate is
325/9 kt. Based on the forecast track, Harvey is expected to make
landfall along the middle Texas coast tonight. After that, the
track models insist that the hurricane will slow down considerably
during the next 24 hours, and it is likely to move very little
between 36 and 120 hours. In fact, there has been a somewhat
notable change in the guidance, with very few of the models showing
Harvey lifting out toward the northeast by the end of the 5-day
forecast period. As a result, the NHC track forecast has been
pulled back a bit and keeps Harvey near or just inland of the Texas
coast through the middle of next week. This slow motion only
exacerbates the heavy rainfall and flooding threat across southern
and southeastern Texas.

1. it's like it will scoop water out of the Gulf on one side of the storm

and dump the full bucket over the land on the other side of the storm.

oh do I feel sorry for the people in the path of this storm.
Everything will be ruined with losses in the trillions I would guess.
Jobs will be gone possibly forever.

3. This will rearrange the TX coastline.
