hmmm, well this is one galveston Texan that is going to pay attention. That snow in the winter, cane in the summer thing has got me thinking this is our(Houston/Galvenson) year.

Even if that bit of folklore is true, it's only mid-July. Unfortunately, it looks as if we may have many more chances for it to occur.

We don't want Emily here. Not this storm. This one has every indication of one you'd run away from because there is nothing foreseeable which would weaken it except an extended Yucatan visit.

They used to say that Galveston Island is due for a hurricane every 20 years or so.

I have spent a little time on Galveston Island and the surrounding area and I never heard about the snow and hurricane connection.
