For those interested. -
For those interested. Very very solid storm. Had to hold a window in my room up during the first half of the eyewall after it blew in. Would’ve lost it had I not been at the window documenting the eyewall.

Bay City direct eye intercept. Near nonexistent signal. Will post again when I can. If I weren’t at my window recording the eyewall my window would’ve been gone. A secondary gust after the power went out required me to use both hands to keep the thing from blowing in. Never any risk of shattering. Some structural damage out here but manageable. https://i.imgur.com/ONBSonL.jpeg

Extremely low signal. I’m ok. Significant but manageable damage. https://i.imgur.com/ONBSonL.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/iHLwFcA.jpeg

Lightning showing up on the western side of the eyewall right now. Still quiet here.

Minimum pressure of 979.8 & 980.3 on my devices.

On that last pass those FL winds were really picking up. I’m guessing some of that mixed down even inland. It was rocking here for a while. Dry air kept this in check, otherwise, we’d be looking at a totally different landscape at first light.

I’m ok. In the eye.

In the eye. Waiting for first light.

Dead center of a dirty eye. What a feeling. Duct taped the window so it should be fine for now. On a mini damage survey with staff there is an undisclosed number of windows blown in. The eyewall gusts were pushing dead center on the windows. Power out of course and some localized damage. Seems modest so far. We’ll see what daylight reveals.
-
Finally in the eye, though it’s the dirty part. Occasional breeze but it’s quiet.
-
Anybody have the data for this?? This report is right on top of me and the power/window went right around this time. Just had 3 additional green flashes.
-
Absolutely hellacious eyewall. Intensifying hurricanes at landfall produce. This has been very impressive. Still going.
-
Absolutely wild. My hotel window blew in during the biggest gust. It would have come all the way in if I wasn’t at the window recording.
-
Where are you approximately? Just east of downtown Bay City (WxW)
-
Eyewall approaching here. Green power flashes continue.
-
Gust to 76 at Port O’Connor
-
Rocking
-
Starting to rock.
-
Those FL winds are nothing to sneeze at. Still getting deep convection wrapping around the core so the only limitation at this point is time.
-
Power starting to go out in the area
-
What do you know. Center tightens and the winds go up. Multiple unflagged SFMR of 72kt.
-
Recon finding stronger FL winds. Latest VDM had a peak FL wind of 77kt but well away from the center still. That said, the eye has dramatically contracted, from 58 miles six hours ago to 8nm now. That’s a feat in itself lol.
