#4 If you go through and read, this storm was completely unrelated to the cyclones coming up. Just another happy day on the gulf coast. As far as the upper Texas coast, we're screwed down, but not expecting much.But then, we weren't explecting much from Harvey, either.

Be good to get a waterspout.

#7 Houston is safe from Marco and probably safe from Laura also.

New Orleans not so much.

#9 ^ Ouch, Frank. The issue this time around is not so much the force of the storm(s) as the ability of the pumps to keep up with the volume of water. The recently appointed chief engineer (Korban) seems to have his head on straight, but some cynics believe that the actual pump operators just randomly push buttons. It's sort of a cargo cult drainage system.
