The 6:00 am briefing just ended and they informed us that the Hurricane Hunters detected 2 independent eyes in this hurricane, I've never heard of that before but evidently it's rare and dangerous, we've been told to expect at least a 16 ft. storm surge and could be 28 ft. and that this Hurricane might be worse than Katrina. I also saw the they have ordered evacuations for Houston, Doreen Bar is in that area, also any other members around Houston...heads up, this storm is twice as wide as the entire state of Louisiana and it looks like it may be more than half the size of Texas, well it's right at 400 miles wide and the weather is suppose to start taking a dive starting tomorrow, intensifying Fiday night/Saturday morning, just 12 hours later, so we don't have a head start on this one. If it holds the track to veer more to the left (Galveston/Houston), we'll catch the bad side of the storm but if it goes a little further south, I think we'd be okay to stay here and ride it out...it would only be a Cat 1, maybe even a Tropical storm, the only thing about that scenario that makes me think twice is that if the storm makes a sudden right turn(just like Rita did) it would be too late to leave.
