A weak tropical storm sounds pretty good right about now

It'll be great......if you're down in Torreon.

My family used to get the best goddamned tortas from a guy with a cart near a Pemex station in Torreon.

Lake Falcon desperately needs the rain.  Last week's little bitch ass weather maker that went in around Corpus gave Laredo a couple of days of good rain.  Meanwhile, Zapata got hardly anything.

This is the GFS (American model) that shows a major hurricane making landfall in South Texas over labor day weekend.  The GFS is not a great model for tropical storms and it is 10 days out, but there are more than a few other models that see "something" forming in the GOM sometime next week.  The EURO doesn't show anything, but the last couple of years it hasn't been good sniffing these storms out.  It's still pretty good once a storm does form so it is something to keep an eye on.

The Labor Day storm models have been changing landfall locations from SW Louisiana to south Texas over the last several runs. Pretty consistent with at least a disturbance and some one may get some rain

I bought some hurricane supplies yesterday !

Toilet paper and beer? I kid.

What did you get. We had a good thread going with some smart people talking about emergency supplies. This is FEMA's list. I would take this as a minimum. One thing I added to mine is a camping pellet stove. No matter what, they work. I also make some additional components like water proof fire starting kits.

I have water and dry goods / foods. Having a gas stove helps. Need some instant coffee 

if you have gas get a stove top percolator and a few bricks of Cafe Bustello. Cheap solution, better coffee, and lasts for a long time.

There is no mention of booze in that FEMA doc. 

Depends how you read it. I have it under the medicine category

There isn’t much to report at the moment. I don’t think much is expected as far as impact to Texas with any of these storms. The latest Euro shows we all get some rain this week.

Honestly…… the last few years I haven’t paid much attention, but we really need a light hurricane season with the combination of inflation, high gas prices, and most people on surly wanting the dems to do well in November.

The models are split right now on where this goes.  If it strengthens at all, it should turn north and then out into the open Atlantic as a fish storm.  If it continues west and gets shredded by the mountains of PR, DR, and Haiti, then it could re-emerge in the gulf and form again.  It's way too early to know for sure. although most of the pros I follow think this is a fish storm.

Bitch is going to curve north like a good Dominican curveball (or evening of drinking rum) and flood England. FEMA and CNN will still call for emergency preparedness in El Paso. 

Hope I am wrong, but.....
