tropical storm update

the storm’s present course is headed for the texas/louisiana area.

forecasters are telling us that the storm will take a sharp right turn early tomorrow morning.  they are also telling us that it may be upgraded from tropical “depression” to tropical “storm” (a matter of higher sustained wind speed).  both categories bring lots of rain.

if it does follow the forecast path, treefrog manor will get several inches of rain.  five inches?  ten? other?  i’m not too worried, i’m on high ground and my preps are in place.

maybe.

living in florida since the forties, i have learned that forecasters, even the most professional, are seldom perfectly accurate

what if…

a) the turn doesn’t happen?

b) it happens later than forecast?

c) it isn’t as sharp as forecast?

d) some combination of the above?

this would bring the storm to land somewhere to the west of here.

god help louisiana.  they’re already saturated.
