There is one hurricane, one tropical storm, and one tropical depression that may become a TS.

Looks like it will not make landfall thank goodness.

Yeah, we're keeping an eye on the situation.
The storm just south of us isn't expected to be a problem.
Katia might become a problem so we'll just have to wait and see.

Lee will make landfall in Louisiana and turn east. However MS, AL, and GA need rain; so it will be a good thing. Some models are predicting that Katia may hit New England and/or Canada. Right now she is running more westerly than predicted.

Hmmm, that can be worrisome since I'll be away from home after 7 Sept.

You might want to keep an eye on the predicted tracks over the weekend.

Louisiana is stealing our tropical storm. We were looking forward to the storm coming this way but it doesn't look like it's going to come this way. They are predicting this storm could act just like Allison did to our area a few years ago, 20+ inches of rain in two days. We sure could use the rain.

Actually, the rain i needed all across the Southeast, though not as badly as Texas needs it.

Man, i don't know how you guys can live there with all those damn things stirring up every year. If our earthquakes were imminent on a yearly basis i'd have moved by now ! I hope those freakin' things stay the heck away from land this year.

 

[CarlS]

Just part of nature's cycle.

Give a good ol' tropical storm or hurricane any day of the week, just keep them dern earthquakes away. At least we know when a storm is a coming, earthquakes don't give no warning.
