I was living in Houston in September 1988, when the actual most powerful hurricane was forecast to hit the Texas coast. I remember covering the windows at the college I was teaching at in preparation for the storm. Fortunately the storm missed Texas.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

I was working in Richmond at the time. Me and my weather savvy friends could not comprehend a pressure of 888 millibars.
A story at the time, perhaps urban legend, was that the hurricane chasers got their C-130 down
to only 10,000 feet in the eye, and not the customary 5,000, as they feared for their lives. The 888 was not directly measured, but rather calculated from readings at 10,000 feet.
I lived in Richmond in 1990, near the Brazos River when it flooded.
Sorry, I was in Richmond, Virginia.
Richmond, Texas is just southwest of Houston.
Katy, TX, is as close to Richmond, TX, as I got. Nice area. I went out there on business a few times in 1989-1991.
