According to NHC, the eye is going to go over the eastern shore of the big bay (whatever it's actual name is) that's to the south east of Houston. Texas city is on the western edge of that bay, and I think that's where the majority of the refineries are located. If you google earth the area, you can pretty easily see that there's a huge concentration of industrial infrastructure all in one place to the south of Texas City. Industrial infrastructure looks pretty distinct, and I really don't see anything else like it in the area. The good news is that if your'e going to take a near direct hit from a hurricane that's travelling towards the NW, you'd rather have it pass to the east of you than the west.
