96.9 MPH gust reported at Calcasieu Pass.
This station updates frequently... ever 6 minutes or so...
That's 96.9 KT = 110 MPH
 Maybe I need another nap...

Just to let you guys know.. KHOU.COM out of Houston is streaming live coverage online.
They say this thing will weaken greatly when it hits land, TS by the afternoon, possible.
Anyone get any surge reports yet?
Thanks

From the Lake Charles radar loop. I would say that the brunt of the storm and the surge has probably hit Cameron and Holly Beach. Head On!
With the eye being off to the west of Cameron. I would suspect that a huge surge will spread up into Calcasieu Lake.

yeah thats weird..... i am seeing some strange things on landfall.....it's like the main eyewall in northern part at higher levels (alt.) threw its self towards the coast and as it hit spreaded out... thats normal (friction casues the eyewall to collapse and winds shoot out as they hit the surface... but now appears there is another eyewall about to come ashore just west of cameron... much smaller and maybe weaker than first... the offical landfall is nearing soon.... looks like to me the center is contracting and is smaller....
landfall works out works out pretty good, cuz the center is really close to lake charles radar... including base veloctiy 32nm... (level III).... i would expect that level II datat is just amazing... alomst as good as going over the and miami radar. and i would think maybe two more vortex reports.

The surge reports should start coming in soon, I would think.
A gas well just blew in Montegut, LA. Reports that you can smell the gas parish-wide (Terrebonne)

Seems like that has been happening most of the evening... the eyewall will try to develop around to the E and SE side of the center, but it doesn't "stick" and the eastern part of the eyewall fragment gets tossed to the north, with a new one developing in its place. It's not really a steady-state eyewall, but rather a continually regenerating feature, at least on the eastern side. The NW side of the eyewall has been pretty steady.

It looks like the station at Calcasieu Pass is out... no report for more than an hour now...
Various news reports:
-- power outages all over the area
-- 2 fires reported on Galveston Island, including one in the historic Strand district... one person seriously burned
-- also on Galveston, trees down, windows blown out, etc.
-- no water service in Freeport
-- in Beaumont, water in street and some debris (unsure whether water is from rain or storm surge)
-- WWL in New Orleans reports that 95% of Lake Charles evacuated earlier today (hopefully Cameron did the same)
-- container ship adrift on Lake Charles and there are concerns that it could hit the IH-10 bridge
-- no storm surge reported in Lake Charles (yet)

looks like landfall is now 60-75 mins away. pressure is slowly rising so it may come in closer to 942mb. that'll put it way up on the rank list of storms by minimum pressure at landfall, but the winds are low-end cat 3 now. recon data is now only supporting cat 2, but i doubt will let that ride as it would be kinda stupid to have a hurricane with a cat 4 pressure and cat 2 winds. the center of the hurricane is unleashing its full fury on cameron parish. it looks like final landfall will be a few miles east of the sabine pass, then over sabine lake. the impact at port arthur should resemble what pensacola got from , only with a stronger surge factor. orange should get raked pretty hard too. with the eye track beaumont should get some hurricane force winds, but the weaker western eyewall and not quite as much damage as if the storm were 10-20 miles west. already appears to be slowing down a little, and should keep steadily slowing as it plows inland tomorrow... by sunday it should just be drifting northward. some kind of cyclonic loop should ensue near the tx/la border west of shreveport sunday-monday... steering currents will be weak so it's hard to say where the storm will track from there (range of possibilities include almost every direction except for north and northwest. most likely it will begin to drift more to the south. the red and sabine river valleys are likely to face a significant flood threat during the coming week.
