The late-blooming 2022 Atlantic Tropical Storm season is making up for lost time. A tropical system has developed in the Central Caribbean Sea. This storm system is forecast to threaten continental U.S. interests next week. While the tropical wave passed south of a key geographic area known as Hebert's Box #1, it will very likely pass through Hebert's Box #2. These boxes are useful as predictors of hurricanes that will strike South Florida. For more information about Hebert's Boxes, see Hebert Box. See graphic below which illustrated the Hebert's Boxes.

Hebert's Boxes
I had a cousin over on the Mississippi coast during Katrina. He got about seven feet of water in his house. One of the main problems is that the salt water fries the air conditioning units. Besides killing all of the pine trees. The oaks made it.
The mighty oak.
Go away Ian!
Galveston was an island. And in 1900 they hadn’t much advance warning, no idea it would be as bad as it was.
They should have taken better precautions, though, considering a town not far away, Indianola, had been annihilated by hurricane a few years earlier.
They ain’t that mighty here in East Texas. The Great Freeze of 2021 plus the Great Drought of 2022 has killed about 10% of them. 30% in my back yard. Some over 100 years old.

There will never be another like the 1900 Galveston hurricane. Vulnerable houses, holiday population (Labor Day was just past), no satellites, the science in its infancy.
For sure. It’s hard to fathom.
Isaac’s Storm by Erik Larson is a mind boggling story of that event.
The last track I saw looked like Ian was headed just north of the Space Coast. I am a bit limited now, operating on battery backup without wifi. Check your local news sources.
“It took Rockport, Texas about three years to recover from Harvey. Still some junk laying around.”
I’m there it was more like 5 years. 3 years got some major stuff done but things are still being rebuilt, these things wipe out some stuff that will never come back.
Looks like Punta Gorda is about to blow away . . .
Chasers are saying the water is gathering/rising in Port Charlotte/Punta Gorda.
Marking and praying.
Yep, Punta Gorda now getting the dirty side, looks like a tornado is hitting it now.
Cried like a baby when I read the story of the Orphanage.
