It'll be a TS by the time it gets there. Rain, rain and more rain.
Fires in Hawaii, Northwest Territories, Tenarife. Floods in Alaska, New England. Tornadoes in the south. Extreme heat in southern Europe, Arizona. Now, heavy downpours in CA, NV and AZ sure to cause flooding. Not good.

OK, Southern California just got hit with a 5.1 earthquake while SIMULTANEOUSLY being hit by a Tropical Storm. More fuel for that fire.
The earthquake was fun. It was like, "Hey! Remember us? Sure, a tropical storm comes along once every 40 years and you get all excited. Meanwhile, we're the ones who are always with you and yet you never seem to appreciate it."
From what I could tell looking out my window and watching the news, it never got too bad for many people near the coast and 10 miles inland. Where I am it came down pretty hard for a few hours, and rained throughout the day, but it was never overly windy nor did it seem like an historic amount of rain had it happened during the wet season. My understanding, however, is that somewhat counterintuitively, while most of the LA area coastline and closer communities were spared serious damage, there was tremendous damage well inland, including hundreds of miles inland. I hope they're able to recover quickly. The bright side for all of us is it makes "fire season" less likely; or at least less dangerous.
I've read that they had to close down the Burning Man festival, due to flooding. Something I thought I'd never see.
potential storm to hit the west coast of Florida in around 5-6 days. Maybe.
Stay tuned.
Maybe a Cat 3
Out somewhere in the Pacific is a storm named for me. See, https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refre....shtml?cone#contents
It is forecast to peter out soon. I feel like that some days too.

I bet it’s all wet.
I think we should remove "Hilary" from the title of this thread. I don't know how to do that.
Anyway, this new hurricane (Idalia), which sounds like a type of onion, is now a category 4 hurricane. I wonder what it will do after it crosses the US and re-enters the Atlantic as a tropical storm. Will it grow again to be hurricane strength? Stay tuned.
Already down to CAT 2.

btw whoever started it might be able to edit it. Otherwise, Robert would have to edit it.
LOL
Pretty sure RT forgot this thing exists, like most former participants. 🙃
Not really. Every so often he'll pop by and release 20+ pending posts from newbies. Mostly bots and/or trying to buy/sell something.
Ah, true. Or the occasional Board-o post.
The originator can change the title. Have done it before. Go to edit post, and change the title
Updated!
