Timmy, it jogged right around the YP around 1 AM Monday morning, yes, but she was only a tropical storm at that time, with max. sustained winds at around 50
MPH.
10 AM update, JUST out - She's a Cat 2, now - the wind speed range for the Cat 2 level is 96-110 MPH sustained winds. Cat 3 is 111-130 MPH sustained. She was at 95 MPH at the 8AM update, and is now at around 100 MPH. She's about 30 miles from making landfall near Brownsville, in the next 3-4 hours.
Here's are some webcam still images from South Padre Island; you can keep reloading the page to update them, but expect to possibly see 'image', or broken links, instead of a refreshed picture, with at least moderate frequency. There are apparently tons of folks who are wanting to see the storm as it moves in, and the server's getting overloaded... or, quite likely in the next couple of hours, the cameras might happen to be blown down entirely!
(7:43 AM's the time of the last image that seems to have been captured from this cam.)
