It looks like Harvey will make landfall a little north of where Celia made landfall in 1970. Where is Harvey's forecasted landfall in relation to where Carla made landfall in 1961?

I think the problem is that no one predicted this much strengthening. Most people I looked at said it might only be a strong TS at landfall. I really didn't understand that, based on all the warm water in that area of the gulf. I think it has caught everyone off guard.Anyone else feel that based on local and national reporting that the residents of south Texas didn't take Harvey seriously?

Based on the amount of cars I've seen driving in front of Jim Cantore I think there's quite a few stubborn people. I even saw one of those ridiculously tall Mercedes company vans driving around.
I guess my issue comes with people almost always saying a tornado came without warning (which is almost always incorrect) and these people had at least 24 hours of good knowledge that a Cat 2 or 3 that is hundreds of miles wide was approaching with devastating 20 to 30 inches of rain over days and the estimates are that 40% stayed. I just don't understand.I think the problem is that no one predicted this much strengthening. Most people I looked at said it might only be a strong TS at landfall.
