Holy crap.......another category 5 hurricane is in the Gulf and it has its sights set on Texas....
This storm\'s central pressure is 4 millibars lower than that of Katrina (at its strongest) and still has potential to out strengthen Hurricane Gilbert which has the lowest pressure found in the Atlantic Basin.......
This storm is a monster and if you live on the Texas coast.......LEAVE! We do not want another Katrina sized disaster.......
Current winds: 165 mph
Central Pressure: 998 mb (3rd behind Labor Day Storm of 1935 and Gilbert)
This storm has also strengthened rather quickly.
