14 Sep 2021 4 AM update
BULLETIN
Tropical Storm Nicholas Advisory Number   9
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL142021
400 AM CDT Tue Sep 14 2021

...NICHOLAS COULD CAUSE LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODS ACROSS THE
DEEP SOUTH DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...


SUMMARY OF 400 AM CDT...0900 UTC...INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------
LOCATION...29.3N 95.6W
ABOUT 30 MI...50 KM SSW OF HOUSTON TEXAS
ABOUT 35 MI...55 KM NNW OF FREEPORT TEXAS
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...70 MPH...110 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...NNE OR 25 DEGREES AT 9 MPH...15 KM/H
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...994 MB...29.36 INCHES

===========================================================
1. Nicholas now inland, at 70 mph winds moving NNE a 9 mph 25 miles about SW of Houston.
2. Satellite imagery is showing some damage to storm, and one 200 mile diameter fragment of convection and storms has seperated and looks to be centered just off shore south of Sabine Pass.  Overall and in the past 3-4 satelitte loops(and maybe this is hopeful thinking), this thing looks like it is rapidly weakening.
3. NHC path looks to having the storm slow downand almost stall.  Between now and Thursday afternoon storm, the NHC expects the storm to parallel the SE Texas and SW Louisana coast, only moving about 200 miles in the process or 3 mph in the total process.
4. Wide area 6-10 inches of rain.
5. At my location in SE Texas, heavy rain and maybe 10 mph wind.  20 minutes ago, at the start of this rain band, I was seeing some 30-35 mph gusts.

The precipitation  shield has really fallen apart on the western and southern side of the storm.  In fact I don't see any rainfall on radar SW and South of a Galveston to Columbus line.  That is some good news concerning the flooding risk, at least in SE Texas.

Nicholas is currently sitting about 70 miles to my SSE but New Orleans, 500 odd miles East, is getting more rain than I am.  Mother nature is fickle!

@catfish1957
If the storm is 70 mi to your SSW, and 70 mi to @Bigun 's  SSE, that should make the difference between your two points about 50 mi or so.  In Texas, that makes you cheek-by-jowl next-door neighbors, doesn't it?

True, and based on Csq= Asq +Bsq, he'd be about 99 miles away.

Looking at radar, it looks like in my neighborhood, I only have to contend with what looks like one maybe two more narrow rain bands before this thing looks like it is wrapping up for at least SE Texas.

Just checked my trusty rain guage and the whole storm only left me 2.71 inches.  What bust...thankfully.

Had a 70 minute power outage, as winds have increased to 30-35 mph.    Rain has subsided though, and I think the final tally (if it really has stopped raining) is 3.15 inches. From radar, it looks like the center is about 20 miles to my southwest

It has gotten lighter, and almost surreal that the storm is right on me, but all the heavy rain has been sheared to the north and east.

So far, I've gotten just over 1/2" total out of this storm and very little wind.

Power went out about 6am, still out now.
Had some limbs come down from the oak tree in the front yard.

I've weathered many storms in my 72+ years but this is one is a first for me. never seen the rain field get blown 500 miles East of the actual storm center before.

Yeah buddy...  Shear with a capital "S".  Whacking off Nicholas convection from his COC probably means this low dies pretty quickly.

While I'm no math whiz, I think the imputed distance between the two of you would be (sin 22.5 deg) * 70 mi. * 2 = 53.57 miles.

lol...  I haven't had college math in almost 50 years....Right or wrong,   I was using pythagorean thereom to find the 3rd side (length) of a triangle.  Actual distance was about 96 miles based on feedback from Bigun.  But then again, I wasn't a math major either

Fair dinkum!  Actual always beats theoretical!

And the theoretical depends on accurate azimuths. I was just guessing.

Sorry to hear that ATJ.  Were you near Matagora Bay?  I do know that area got some Cat 1 winds, but reports did say damage was minimal.
