Okay, so maybe Cristobal will have to wait

While last night it looked like the blob in the Atlantic could turn into Cristobal at any moment, today is has degenerated, and the NHC has lowered the likelihood of that happening to "orange" or 20-50% likely. Although that is a little scary because Katrina took a long time to get organized and obviously once she did, all hell broke loose (although I'm not saying this will be the next Katrina). As an aside, it is very interesting to look at the evolution of Katrina if you click on the Weather Underground link to the left and then go to the archives and find August 2005...it started out as a TOTALLY different storm than it ended up.

24 days until the Olympics. According to nbcolympics.com, there will almost literally be programming on 24 hours/day on multiple channels, including 11 Alive/NBC HD, Universal HD and USAHD. I cannot wait, but I can't promise I'll be too productive during that time...haha.

Lastly the rain we got on Sunday was the highest single-day rainfall since 2006! It helped the lakes not drop, although it didn't really help them rise any appreciable amount.
