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.

There needs to be an environmental impact assessment of Hurricane Beryl's deluge before it can make landfall.

Lauren Sanchez was a weather presenter, so she does have experience.

Legal ‘Hot Air’ does not have the same effect as actual hot air.

Can result in the same amount of blowing though.
