Yeah, the National Hurricane Center's 3-day chart this morning shows a hit just southwest of Galveston. The model runs at the the WeatherUnderground show the same thing. Yesterday's damage projection chart seems to fit this morning's track projections better.

It's too bad the US doesn't have a gasoline strategic reserve. Today might be a good day to make sure your gas tank is full.
