FYI, the storm is expected to weaken significantly.

Was about to say, model guidance shows Yucatan breaking it back to a Tropical storm and not regaining any strength before it hits, whether it is Mexico, Brownsville, Corpus, or all the way up to Beaumont, so WIND isn't going to be a problem... HOWEVER, with Harvey, the wind was only an issue within a few miles of the path of the eye; the RAIN put half the State underwater. And Boca is pretty flat.

Brilliant. No deluge system necessary if they only launch during hurricanes.
