Some more good videos. Galveston has a 'voluntary evacuation' order. Dr. Frank is worth watching - They mentioned he'll give a report. . . He's this wonderful old retired meteorologist they bring out during these storms. I love watching him. He teaches as he explains.
Cindy Update: Landfall was made about 4am+. Lets zoom in very close to see exactly where.
Put the surface winds on to see where the actual center circulation is. Louisiana in the books for the landfall not Texas. Looks like Just west of Holly Beach.
