I live in houston.. lol. Its a cat 5, and now has become 3rd most powerfull hurricain ever recorded in US, with 898 milibars of mercury of pressure. The 2 most powerfull were 892 and 888 i think. This one is more powerfull than katrina, but will hit as a cat 4 or lower prolly. Its gona hurt galveston a lot, itl be under water if it hits with same strength as katrina...
