Major tropical update

TD-8 just formed and is expected to track just to the northeast of Puerto Rico by Tuesday or Wednesday, and could hit the East Coast sometime late next week. Its current position is here. This would be Humberto should it turn into a Storm. This would be the 2nd Humberto Storm...in 1989 it replaced Hugo as that storm name was obviously retired.

TD-9 just formed and is expected to hit Galveston Bay by tomorrow morning, probably as a Tropical Storm. This is very bad for Texas as they do NOT need rain and Houston is very flood-prone, especially now. It is currently here. Tropical Storm Warnings have been posted for the entire area from Port O'conner, Texas to Cameron, Louisiana, including western Cameron Parish, and Jefferson, Chambers, Galveston, Harris Brazoria and Matagorda Counties in Texas. Tropical Storm Watches go east from Cameron to Intracoastal City, Louisiana. This covers eastern Cameron Parish & Vermillion Parish.

Finally yesterday we came upon the 6th Anniversary of 9/11....it brought me back to all those memories I was feeling and how I couldn't sleep without the TV because it was somehow comforting and because I was afraid I'd miss something (especially living so close to the CDC!). I also remember being shocked when they first allowed camera crews in the air and you could see the damage from above.

Updates later today!

UPDATE: TD-9 is now Humberto and the Tropical Storm warning has been extended all the way to Intracoastal city, Louisiana. It is at 50 mph, and is forecast to get stronger, but probably just shy of Hurricane Strength.

TD-8 has not become Ingrid yet, but is forecast to, and has formed in the same general area as Hugo and Georges. WAY too early to tell where this could go, but it could hit anywhere along the U.S. coast sometime late next week.
