Even this far out, almost all models (including the FSU Superensemble) show a landfall close to Matagorda Bay. So far (and it is too early for more than speculation), no one has mentioned potential devistating effects of a slowly weakening hurricane well inland.

Victoria at first, but later Luling, Austin (and if the sharp right-hand turn predicted happens), Bryan/College Sta.

As the track becomes more certain, most sane people will get away from the coastal areas. Texans living inland should remember the effects of fast-moving Hurricane Charlie, and the 100+mph winds all the way up the peninsula through Orlando and Daytona.
