If you've loaded the LC NWS radar link, Hurricane Recon just passed through that feeder band that is rotating into SW LA and recorded SFMR winds of 45-50MPH in it...with some lightning bands.

Local chatter there sez it's getting windy...no rain. Reports the air seems nice and dry and comments one would never know there is a Hurricane about 50 miles away if you weren't keeping tabs on Senor Humberto.
The folks in the Golden Triangle will be waking up to some rough WX in the ayem. Looks like land fall very near Sea Rim State Park for a borderline CAT 2 'Cane.

Humberto (one for your collection, Buzz)
Interesting tidbit :
Preliminary Damage Report:
Interesting tidbit :
(from NHC)
BASED ON OPERATIONAL ESTIMATES...HUMBERTO STRENGTHENED FROM A 30 KT DEPRESSION AT 15Z YESTERDAY TO A 75 KT HURRICANE AT 09Z THIS MORNING...AN INCREASE OF 45 KT IN 18 HOURS.
TO PUT THIS DEVELOPMENT IN PERSPECTIVE...NO TROPICAL CYCLONE IN THE HISTORICAL RECORD HAS EVER REACHED THIS INTENSITY AT A FASTER RATE NEAR LANDFALL.
Over in SE Texas, a lot of folks probably retired for the night with no clue that a storm of this size would hit them by early Thursday morning. Here, we had more rain from a regular summer storm on Monday than we received from Humberto.BASED ON OPERATIONAL ESTIMATES...HUMBERTO STRENGTHENED FROM A 30 KT DEPRESSION AT 15Z YESTERDAY TO A 75 KT HURRICANE AT 09Z THIS MORNING...AN INCREASE OF 45 KT IN 18 HOURS.

Preliminary Damage Report:
1 fatality in Bridge City TX
Total power outages : 115,000
Power infrastructure is damaged, but large transmission towers appear to have survived..so outages should be confined to 3-5 days.
First damage assessment teams indicate wind damage is confined to roofing materials and window failures as well as widespread tree fall.
Galveston, Chambers, Jefferson, Orange counties are requesting federal disaster declarations.
Jefferson Co:
73,000 without power.
Widespread minor to moderate wind damage to structures across the county.
Petro-chemical plants in BPT have been knocked offline due to power failures (Valero, Motiva, and Total Petrochemicals)
All critical services are offline (water, sewer, hospitals, gas stations)
City of Port Arthur is 80% without power.
Hampshire area: significant wind damage to houses with trees down and into homes.
Orange County:
Entire county is without power.
Widespread tree fall into structures
Galveston County:
HWY 87 is closed to all traffic
Large powerline transmission towers have collapsed onto HWY 87.
Storm surge and wave action breached parts of HWY 87.
Estimated power restoration to Bolivar is 3-5 days.
Houses have suffered wind damage to roofs and decking at Crystal Beach and High Island.
It is estimated that 500 residents are stranded on Bolivar

Thanks Gonzo. The national news doesn't have good coverage of the associated problems caused by Humberto. Humberto is causing a lot of problems in, and around, Atlanta. Air traffic is being diverted and the PGA tournament is on hold.

Call it the instant hurricane. Humberto, which grew faster than any storm on record from tropical depression to full-scale hurricane landfall, surprised the Texas-Louisiana coast early Thursday with 85-mph winds and heavy rain that knocked out power to more than 100,000 and left at least one person dead.
Meteorologists were at a loss to explain the rapid, 16-hour genesis of the first hurricane to hit the U.S. since 2005.
"Before Humberto developed, you looked at the satellite imagery the day before, and there was virtually nothing there. This really spun up out of thin air, very, very quickly, said National Hurricane Center specialist James Franklin in Miami. "We've never had any tropical cyclone go from where Humberto was to where Humberto got."

Overreaching
Well, we certainly learned a lesson in going to bed early. Humberto was forecast to make a direct hit toward us (we are about an hour from the coast) by 11 the warnings were lifted. Went to bed, thinking we'd possibly just have localized flooding and lots of rain the next day.
Woke up to see a hurricane had landed on the coast.
Have had no rain all day and plenty of sunshine.
Developers have been trying for years to get a bridge put into Bolivar, so they could put more homes and buildings out there, but the state has resisted, saying that the ferry works just fine. This is going to be a good argument against building any kind of bridge.
Besides, the ferry is a lot more fun when you see dolphins on the side. :crazy:
