Rare crewsweeper Posted August 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Just a heads up, Tropical Storm Harvey is reforming in the Bay of Campeche and is projected to be a TS again or a Cat 1 when it hits the Central Texas Coast south of Corpus Christi on Friday. However, the front currently steering the storm is breaking down and that could result in a stalled storm dumping lots of rain over the full weekend. So those of you leaving Galveston this weekend, you might want to bring a umbrella or rain slicker. Could see some delays in ships getting back to port or leaving port too.
