This is still just looking like another average hurricane season. I guess if the gloom and doomers who have been guessing everey season since Katrina is going to be Armegeddon keep doing so eventually they will be right.

Thanks for the update NautiNurse. I am just north of Corpus Christi and am keeping an eye on this. Should get a lot of rain here. My Dad and Step-Mother are in from California and my Step-Mom has always wanted to experience a hurricane (not sure why). While this looks to be a mild Tropical Storm it will give her a taste.

Went down to Aransas Pass harbor and water was up above high tide already (it has been the past couple of days). I will post what I am seeing down here later.

FReepers are slipping. 20 posts and not one reference to Harry Potter . . .

Must be a Holiday weekend.

What a dumb name for a hurricane.

Bad news for folks re: flooding. I do wish we could bottle some of that rain and send it up here to CO. There's a huge fire burning NW of us right now. The smoke is getting bad. :(

Stay Safe South Texas FReepers!

We have a big band coming into Corpus Christ area shortly. Drove around today from Port Aransas to North Padre Island to Corpus to Rockport and back to Aransas Pass. Water levels are quite high in the bays. Very little rain. Looks like Hermine will come into Mexico and move north. There were a few dozen shrimp boats docked in Conn Brown Harbor in Aransas Pass. It was kind of cool to see that many boats there.

Very quiet day here.
