It will be proportional to strength. I think each category would be worth $10.00??
A direct hit on Houston would certainly add to the final total of what the gulf racked up.
So far the path is too far south of Houston to be concerned. I do wonder why they have the path turning south instead of North. That is unusual. Most hurricanes turn north. Perhaps they plan on the high pressure cap over East Texas to keep it Dolly south.

This storm isn't very well organized. This "hurricane" doesn't even have an eye. What we are likely looking at is a tropical storm with sustained winds no higher than 60 or 65mph.

It has to be though Indy. NOAA has go to save face. They have struck out several years in a row forecasting hurricanes. They need hurricanes this year. Even if they are fabricated. It's about funding and money. Just play along and everything will be easier on all of us.

Ok NEAR 75mph is NOT a hurricane. This is not hand grenades or horseshoes. This is science.
Its not a hurricane until the wind speed is 74mph now on the scale. Near 75mph doesn't cut it.

HURRICANE DOLLY DISCUSSION NUMBER 13

1100 AM EDT WED JUL 23 2008
DOLLY IS STRENGTHENING. THE MINIMUM PRESSURE HAS DROPPED TO 964 MB
WITH A PEAK FLIGHT LEVEL WIND OF 92 KNOTS. DOPPLER WINDS FROM THE
NWS RADAR AT BROWNSVILLE HAVE BEEN OSCILLATING BETWEEN 95 AND 109
KNOTS AROUND 2000 FEET ALTITUDE...AND THE SATELLITE PRESENTATION HAS
IMPROVED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE YESTERDAY. IT HAS NOW A RAGGED EYE ON
BOTH VIS AND IR IMAGES. INITIAL INTENSITY HAS BEEN INCREASED TO
85 KNOTS...MAKING DOLLY A CATEGORY TWO HURRICANE ON THE
SAFFIR/SIMPSON HURRICANE SCALE. SOME ADDITIONAL STRENGTHENING IS
POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE LANDFALL.
RADAR AND AIRCRAFT FIXES INDICATE THAT DOLLY IS MOVING ON A GENERAL
NORTHWEST TRACK OR 305 DEGREES AT ABOUT 6 KNOTS. HOWEVER...DOLLY IS
EXPECTED TO SLOW DOWN A LITTLE...FOLLOWED BY A GRADUAL TURN MORE TO
THE WEST-NORTHWEST LATER TODAY. THIS TRACK SHOULD BRING THE CORE OF
THE HURRICANE INLAND EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THEREAFTER...A
DEVELOPING MID-LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN UNITED STATES
SHOULD FORCE THE CYCLONE ON A MORE WESTWARD TRACK.
SHOULD DOLLY MOVE MORE SLOWLY OVER EXTREME SOUTHERN TEXAS THAN WE
ARE FORECASTING...IT IS POSSIBLE FOR IT TO PRODUCE EVEN MORE
RAINFALL THAN WE ARE CURRENTLY PREDICTING.

The highest sustained wind reported at Port Isabel was 51mph. Maximum wind gust was 71mph. I'm hunting for something higher. But so far that is it. This storm hit probably one of the least populated parts of the gulf coast. It moved quite a bit north of the Brownsville, TX area.

That will tell you how big this state is. Get hit by a hurricane and we won't get a drop. Not even a breeze is blowing.
