Living in Nevada as you do a storm in the gulf would not matter to you one way or another. But let me tell you something, as someone who lived on the gulf for over forty years, any storm that enters the GOM has the potential of life threatening or great potential for property damage.Even a non hurricane tropical storm can kill or flood thousands of people. Any heads up of a potential storm is of great importance to those on the gulf.
LOL! Oh we know. NOLA for 20 years and east central FL for 24 years. We know.
