Hurricane KATIA

Might as well start the thread early.* Latest track trending more west than north (stormpulse.com). This is NOT* good news.* Still a long time to go, but....

I think I'll hold off starting any repairs until the season's over.*

Better watch the disturbance in the GOM right now. Very good chance of strengthening and moving ashore this weekend as a tropical storm, probably into LA.

Guess I better hook up my bilge pump.

Man......that thing could dump some serious rain on you guys. Watch out for those river currents. I know you're in bad need of some rain there, but if the ground is that hard from drought, the initial run-off could be enormous.

Now Tropical Storm Lee. This should clean out the rain gutters.

Damm! I'm watching the rain bands stopping just short of Galveston Bay, and man, we NEED that rain over in the Houston area!
