    This is going to be a Top 3 hurricane in U.S. history in terms of how much damage it does. IR loop shows convection exploding in the past half hour or so. It's very possible this thing could be a category 4 before landfall.

    Last hurricane to make landfall as a category 4 in the US? Hurricane Katrina

    This is gonna be a bad one. Probably????? won't hit Houston until next week. Probably more of a Tropical Storm by then.

    This is gonna be a big storm. Most likely a tropical storm when it loops to the Houston area. Expected 25 to 40 inches of rain in next 5 days. For perspective, Portland gets 44 inches per year. Average for Nation is 35 inches per year

    It's Hurricane Lee Harvey, and it's headed straight for Dallas.

    Categories aren't the end all, be all though. Katrina had a storm surge much bigger than Harvey will have IMO. Harvey's a different beast all together. Basically like Tropical Storm Allison, but 3 times stronger.

    Just to unite us for a few mins...

    Edit: Random, I know. But, this is one of very few vids that actually gives me occasional tears of joy.

    Convection? Storm surge? Uhhh....I'll take your word for it.

    Let this forevermore be known as the thread in which we learned that @BonesJones is the forum's preeminent weather geek.
