Hurricane Watch 2008

There is a system that appears to be organizing in the Caribbean that might have the potential to find its way to the Texas coast.

Seems quite possible it will become a tropical storm soon, in which case Invest 94 will be renamed T.S. Cristobal.

Looks like computer models have the storm moving over the Yucatan then aiming somewhere near Brownsville. Here's hoping it doesn't interfere with our plans to attend the Texans open training camp practices.

Check that, a storm off the Carolinas was just upgraded and assigned the Cristobal name. The next available name for the Atlantic storm season is Dolly.

Looks like we're getting some rain from Edouard tomorrow. Don't be the idiot who runs his lawn sprinkler in a rainstorm.

Funny that any severe weather and Tim Heller comes in for the Sunday night forcast. I bet he is sporting some serious wood with a new storm off the coast. That guy gets happy over the bad weather.

I root for hurricanes in the summertime. I'm far enough inland where I don't worry about the damages that happen along the coast. All I'd worry about are some flooding and potential tornados.

So, I cheered for Dolly and anticipate a friendly greeting for Edouard around these parts too. I'd rather have 80-degrees and showers instead of 100-degrees and bone dry.
