I think that's Frances 1998. I remember getting flooded out at UNO and getting my truck stuck on a parking lot timber and wading through flood waters barefoot.

[Chacor]

Nope.

[Ptarmigan]

I will take a jab and say it is Allison from 2001.

And you'd be right. That's Allison nearing LA landfall.

Got a hurricane headed into southern Texas before 1987 (when Tropical storm warnings replaced gale warnings). My best guess is Allen.

one of the best looking cyclones ever

[Chacor]

i wouldn't be surprised if Monica beat Tip in terms of pressure (but some other storms in the WPAC could have also beat Tip, lack of recon ftl).

but yeah, correct.
