The comparison of Beryl with Harvey is encouraging. The fact that it won't be jammed in by three High pressures is reassuring for those of us in Harris County. But I still think we may get a direct hit, or at the very least be on the extreme dirty side of the storm.
Space City Weather has consistently been downplaying the whole thing. Even now they are still only saying "Chances for impacts increasing" rather than saying "Most models now put Houston on the dirty side of the storm".
Not even close. Harvey was a major cat. 4 on landfall and stalled over several days (did you even watch the video?). This is a fast mover and isn't expected to be greater than a Cat 2 on landfall.
