[hockeyfan]

Now I said at the beginning of the season that Humberto would come here...

...and dangit I have to be right!!  >

C'mon....just make a minimal T-storm(before any others do!).... 

GO! GO! GO! 

[KFDM COOP]

[hockeyfan]

Coop, which storm will be named first?  ???

Will this one strengthen enough to be named?  ???

When is the next advisory?  ???

Why am I asking questions?  ??? 

[KFDM COOP]

The one in the Gulf south of Galveston should be named first.

[hockeyfan]

I hope so!

My mom will freak out if I'm correct about "Humberto" coming here.  ;D

[hockeyfan]

WOOHOO!

It's been named!! 

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[Bulldog92]

This thing's looking more organized all the time and is strengthening very quickly. I think it might even be a minimal hurricane by landfall. It's weird how quickly all of these storms seem to be developing this year...

[RonBurgundy68]

where in gods name did this thing come from?

[Bulldog92]

Out of nowhere. It was basically nothing yesterday. If this thing stalls for some reason, it could be really wet for a very long time down there. That's unlikely, but it's not good that it's moving so slowly...

[redfan]

well....we could use a little rain

[dat_hook_em_fan]

A LIL WILL BE A UNDERSTATEMENT

[CardinalFan]

looks to be a Hurricane here in just about 30 minutes or so!  WOW!  Recon has found 80MPH Surface winds..

Weather will improve thoughout the day as Hurricane Humberto moves out of the area.

All that schooling and that's your forecast...... ;D ;D ;D  Heck, let me run at it here:

Hurricane Humberto will move West North West over the next several hours with imrpving conditions expected by early Thursday morning.  Mostly cloudy skys will remain with scatters showers through Thursday.  Chances of rain will decreae over the next few days with partly cloudy skys expected Friday. 

P.S.  Fishing conditions REALLY suck 22 miles East of Galveston right now so stay the heck out of your flat bottom boat.

I can't believe the damage that my old hometown, High Island(Go Cards!), took!

BEAUMONT, Texas - Call it the instant hurricane. Humberto grew from a tropical depression with 35 mph winds to a full-scale hurricane in 18 hours, surprising the Texas-Louisiana coast Thursday with 80 mph winds and heavy rain.

“To put this development in perspective, no tropical cyclone in the historical record has ever reached this intensity at a faster rate near landfall,†said senior hurricane specialist James Franklin at the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

hope everyone came through that with minimal damage and no injuries.

[KFDM COOP]

You go just north of the Triangle and very little happened. It was a small Hurricane size wise.

[SBallFan]

Anyway to find out if BISD is out of school Friday due to power?  I am getting mixed feedback.  Thanks!
