That is beautiful, yet terrible at the same time. Like lightning.

And the storm is strengthening just a bit.
Up to 110 mph winds and the pressure is dropping in the eye. Could still be a Cat 3 by landfall.
It does look like landfall will be on the east end of Galveston and that puts the path just east of a lot of Houston. That's good news.

I take it you still have power, AJ. Did you say you're going to ride it out there in Houston?
Let us know how things are as soon as you can. We're thinking about you.

I'm in an apartment on the 3rd floor of a 4 story building that should be OK through the storm so I'm staying here.
Things are fine here in downtown right now. We are still a few hours away from getting the bad stuff. We are having some gusty wind at this point but no rain and we still have power.
I'll post as things happen as long as I am able.

We still have power downtown. Starting to get some rain and the wind is picking up.

I thought you were headed to WDW?
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

If you ever see me headed in the direction of WDW, call the police because I'm being carjacked.....

My power is flickering now at 11:30 pm
I think I'll shut my computer down. I'll report back when I can.
