Tropical Major Hurricane Harvey

[NWMSGuy]

It's clear from the beating he's taking out there from the hurricane force wind gusts and the worst is yet to come in a couple of hours.

Bet he's somewhat excited to be getting a little more action since he got the "cloud" during totality with the solar eclipse.

Cantore says people are stuck in cars on the interstate in Corpus Christi trying to go inland...

Hurricane Expert on TWC says it is no longer strengthening.

It's usually said the strongest part of the hurricane is the right side of the eye relative to forward direction. The radar indicates the west side eyewall mush stronger when you'd expect just the opposite

GFS has Harvey lasting until the END of the month, stalled in all the rain it produces after taking a drink form the Gulf. Texas gets over 40" of rain. Who ever thought we would be talking about a major hurricane hitting and dropping historic rain amounts?

Hard to tell on my phone but I swear it looks like it's already starting to slow down

Still looking more organized on IR, eye actually may be tightening.

It has slowed. Which will lead to worse storm surge

Look at that eye, my goodness

Several tornado signatures in that band from Freeport, TX to Wharton, TX.

[Brent]

strongest Texas hurricane in 56 years

stronger than all the 2005 hurricanes at landfall and strongest since Charley

 

[RBR71]

Slowing down too.... not much but down to 8 mph

 

[Snowfan]

I did.

 

[ForsythSnow]

Cat 4 and still time to get stronger with the way it's been quickly intensifying.

Port Aransas should start reporting some insane numbers over the next 30 minutes as the eye wall approaches

They deserve it

 

[Arcc]

If you have a radar program, turn to echo tops. Beautiful eyewall, easily the best since Charley.

What a storm

This is not a video game - there are folks who will be devastated for years, if not for the rest of their lives ...

It's very sad to see this hurricane reach Cat 4 status. It should also serve as a reminder to those who kept saying this morning this hurricane would not reach a cat 4 status that anything is possible... especially when dealing with Mother Nature.

I will admit, I didn’t think it would get to a cat 4. Either way this is a bad mamma JAMA

Man God help them... this is getting close to radar site so not far off the ground

I feel sick at my stomach for those in the Austwell, Port O Connor, Rockport, and Seadrift areas that surge is going to be mindblowing.

Roughly 3300 feet. A good portion of that has to be mixing down in the heavy rain

3300 feet is umm too close for comfort.... I see pressure down to 940.2 so it's still dropping dang

 

[RBR71]

Looks like western eyewall starting to brush the barrier islands there

 

[Webberweather53]

Yeah I'll admit I didn't think it would become a category 4, this is going to be a cataclysmic disaster... First category 4-5 cane to hit Texas since Carla in 1961, first cat 4 since Charley in 2004, & it's the only gom storm since 1985 with a pressure below 973mb that intensified in the last 12 hours leading up to landfall. This is an incredible storm
