ike

Ike moves into the Gulf and scares the bejezus out of everyone, then encounters shear and dry air. Eventually it heads ashore in Texas at category one, and drops rain on droughty areas inland. Best case. And it could happen.

the most favored solution is a strike on the upper Texas coast. Be advised that computer models have five-day errors that regularly exceed 400 miles, so it's not time to panic. But within the next five to six days Texas could be facing a serious hurricane.
