text:  I think the question that many are wrestling here is how strong will the winds be and how close to the center of the storm their homes will be. The National Hurricane Center is warning people to be prepared for Barrel to possibly intensify as it nears land and perhaps reach Category 2 status. So clearly some people here are taking a gamble that this won't be a worst-case scenario and their homes will be in danger. Yeah. A lot of people in Texas will remember Hurricane Harvey, which hit a similar area in 2017 and flooded out Houston. Are there similar concerns with Barrel?
