Seemingly not, it is how a Category 3 Hurricane and strengthening (Some places in Texas are predicted to receive over 50 cm / 20 inches of rain)

They're now calling for over a meter of rain in some places of Texas. That's downright biblical! The problem seems to be a high pressure system that will basically freeze the hurricane over the coast for days.

This is pretty major.

"Mayor McComb strongly encourages evacuation, especially the low lying areas of Area A and B as seen in the map below (pink and yellow area)."

Category 4 now :apologetic:

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

Upgraded to a category 4 now

 

[Aardvark154]

That is the Galveston Hurricane of 1900.

Hopefully people have paid attention and evacuated, and this is is not a repeat of the Great Galveston Hurricane.

 

[FAST]

Low.

No,...its the same high pressure system that is keeping it away from Canada.

 

[GPIDEAL]

Last news I read was that it is now a Category 1?

Last news I read was that it is not a Category 1?

Its been downgraded to a tropical storm.

The flooding is the real worry now

Since they didnt have radar back then, wouldnt that have caught everyone by complete surprise??

I just looked at the cnn.com website http://www.cnn.com and 90% of what I can see is about the Hurricane. If anything, I'd say that that they (and all the networks) are over-covering the Hurricane.

But I suppose that in your world, the media can only cover ONE story.

What about multi-tasking, sweetiepie?

You never heard of split-screens??

As I recall (without bothering to look it up), that storm passed by Cuba, the Meteorologists in Cuba reported the extremely low pressure of the hurricane (an indication of its strength) the U.S. Meteorologists completely ignored these warnings.
