My grandparents lived in Galveston and my sister and I spent summers there. One summer Hurrican Cecilia was forecast to directly hit Galveston, but it turned and and hit Corpus Christi at the last minute ( give or take a few minutes). By the time it hit Corpus it was a Cat 3.

My grandmother lived by this rule. She always had her map and radio on charting it.
