Are there any reports yet from the east side?

I don't know about the Eastside since I am back in Galveston…but the Damn thing is about to hit here on Monday. But not too bad in the projections, but we do get Surge here as opposed to Cozumel.

Houston does not need it, either.

TS Beryl is expected to make landfall as a hurricane between Corpus Christi and Galveston with lesser effects further along the cost then push on with heavy rains as far as Michigan. Flooding expected.

NOAA is warning folks to expect it to make landfall as a Cat 2.

It would help if developers would build stronger houses on the coast, with hurricane-clipped roofs, etc. I remember one published photo from that area after a bad storm showing a house that was built right and still standing but surrounded by the debris out dozens of flattened houses.

AFAIK hurricane related code changes have been required throughout the Gulf coast for all new construction for at least a decade now.
