        Wanted to share my sister-in-law's post, including a Houston Chronicle article.

        "Our neighborhood has been in the same central Houston location since the 1950s and never had the kind of flooding we've seen since 2015. We bought our house, which had never flooded, until last week, in 2011. Many of our neighbors flooded in 2015 and then again in 2016. And again now. But West of us, there's been a lot of development. And Brays Bayou runs from them down to us. And so does all the rain.

        We are close to the city and have a walkable neighborhood. We walk to the library and the grocery store all the time. But the development out west is suburban subdivisions. Sprawl. The kind of thing we're not supposed to actively encourage. And those developments are killing my neighborhood. There are lots of factors that cause these floods, but to pretend that this isn't one of the biggest ones would be wrong.

          Irma's track moved south again today. Here's four models putting Florida and possibly the Gulf back in play. (Euro has it staying just off the coast.)

          Hurricane watches now issued in the Leeward's and the Bahamas are looking to be in the path of a Major storm. Need that high in the Atlantic to get East so Irma can hook back out to sea. Long ways out yet and lot's of changes will happen, but the tension is turned up a click.


          Edit: Noticed the upper left model has pressure at 889... that would be the third lowest pressure ever in an Atlantic storm. Hurricanes below 900 all contained 180-190 mph winds.

            5AM track has it heading for the Gulf by shooting the gap between Florida and Cuba. No swing North along Atlantic Coast.

            I have relatives in the Keys. Guess their go bag is packed.

              The Keys have been lucky for many many years. I was there a few years ago and we did a tour and the guy said over 100 years since any major damage?? Doesn't seem possible.
              If it gets into the gulf, wow

                        Euro has it then shooting the gap between Miami and Bahamas, then up to SC/NC. GFS isn't so kind, that prefers a more up the gut of Florida track.

                        Still a decent ways out on these model runs though, probably further than "reasonable accuracy".

                            But what about the storm in "Key Largo"?

                            I agree -- seems amazing they have gone that long. There must be some geographic reason why they get missed. I assume there is some logic to hurricane paths and not total randomness.

                                I think the key to this statement must be the definition of "major damage" and it must apply to Key West, which although it's been hit by hurricanes, they've been relatively benign. The rest of the keys have been hammered quite often, Donna, Betsy, Inez, Floyd, Andrew, Irene all caused big damage in the Keys.

                                As Irma stands at the moment, it's heading for my back yard and Florida residents are under the gun and starting to prepare. This is a tricky deal, because it all seems to hinge on When it will turn north. Early and it could still miss Florida, later and it could head over the lower keys and right up the middle of the state, later still and it could go past toward the gulf and then hook back to the FL west coast. Right now our tentative plan is to make the call Friday morning as to whether to flee north or not. Weird because if it heads North through the center of FL we could leave and not be able to get back for several more days even after the storm has passed.

                                Anguilla and BVI are looking to get run right over. If Irma stays south, PR, DR and Cuba, are all in big trouble. Things could get pretty bad down here in paradise.
