This time in 2005, we were on the "E" storm, and with the storm fixing to roll off of Africa, and developing "VERY QUICKLY AFTER IT EMERGES INTO THE EASTERN ATLANTIC" as put by the NHC, we will be easily pacing the 2005 record breaking season through the end of July.  The H storm in 05 formed August 2.  Will the 2008 tropics keep pace?

That track is crazy. Don't believe the hype and get ready. It's not gonna go that far south. I'd say between Matagorda Bay and Galveston with SETX getting the right front of it. I hope they're right, but it just seems unlikely that it'll track that far south...

Lordy 92, don't be so pessimistic! LOL...some of the folks I work with think that every tropical system that even gets to the Caribbean is going to directly hit SE Texas...let's all be aware and prepared, but not scared the entire season

I'm not being pessimistic or scared...and I'm nowhere near you guys. I'm a realist and for a while, it looked like Dolly was gonna be a lot stronger than it is and it very well could have headed farther north than it has if she had gotten stronger sooner like a lot of storms have in the past few years. I'm glad it didn't because that's the last thing you all need right now. My concern was legitimate, so try not to be so critical.  ;D

      What news station do you watch?…..never mind.    What age are the children you take care of. Refugees from where? Are they in a hospital? Now children compared to criminals…..geeeez. The mayor of Denver and a few governors, including Newsom, have said they will not turn over incarcerated criminals to ICE. This is a felony. They are harboring criminals and fugitives. Gee, I’m so glad you want criminals protected. Anyone who crossed illegally into our country is a criminal. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

      Are they offering refuge to criminals? Or is it a Trump talking point? Refugees are people who leave their country due to unwarranted prosecution. I actually take care of 2 refugee kids who have complex medical needs   No, refugees are not criminals, and the assumption that they are more likely to be criminals than the general population is incorrect:                                                                                          Research shows immigrants commit crimes at lower rates Immigrants in the United States commit crimes at lower rates than the U.S.-born population, including unauthorized immigrants. This is true across immigrant groups.                  Immigration doesn't raise crime rates Immigrants don't raise crime rates in the communities where they settle. In fact, some studies suggest that immigration can lower crime rates, especially violent crime.                  Anti-immigration politicians have spread a myth Anti-immigration politicians have repeatedly tried to link immigrants to crime, but research shows this is a myth.                  Refugees don't cause crime in Turkey A study found that refugees don't have a causal effect on crime rates in Turkey. In fact, the study found that refugees may have a negative effect on crime rates per capita.

      I think it's actually the first time ever to get past the second round. Some older folks might try to tell you about Scott High but I wasn't here when that school was around 😆
