Not sure who on the board called for upper SE TX (because you can be darned sure I was watching to see who was...and waiting), except maybe a handful in the beginning. But even NHC and Accuweather had us in the 5-day cone early on. No need for crow for the cone, IMO.

I do not know of anyone who said the Upper TX Coast. The models always showed a NE Mexico/S TX landfall.

Now 99L could prove a different scenario for the Upper TX Coast should it more W and make it into the GOM. Right now it look more like a SE US system due to the ULL to the W pulling the convection Nward.

There was a poll posted 72 hours out and 12 people voted for corpus and north and 8 voted for Houston/Galveston.

You know who you are....fess up, jj

Im not concerned about a system that isnt even an invest yet. I remember threads about "monster" waves coming of of Africa, none of which developed...

TX will have its time, maybe...

I think some speculated on HOW it could make it up here and what factors would have to fall into play for the change in path, but I never saw a true forecast for us (not to say there wasn't one, but I don't recall seeing it).

I remeber just mentioning that Texas should pay close attention until it came ashore and began dissipating, but I think many on here were saying that.

I didnt see that until after i posted, I stand corrected. It doesnt appear to be a TX storm to me, too early to even speculate. Models are meaningless on a system of little or no organization.

That poll said nothing about landfall ....it asked who was "out of the woods", not who was gonna get the full brunt of the storm. BIG difference...

-removed- (wish-kast-ing)verb-1.Ignoring NHC for guideance, 2. Making landfall calls 400+ miles outside the cone 72 hours out or less. 3. Posting on every wobble that goes your way, and mysteriously ignoring all of those against you.4. Translating discussions from NHC like this "a small weakness in ridge would allow for a track more to the north" read as "Its going NNE right now. 5.Saying anything is possible, you cant let your guard down after every advisory. 6. Refer to any post by texasheat...(just giving you a hard time heat, no insult intended).

Wrong poll, look at one that was started Saturday evening... It was a landfall prediction poll.
