Rain

The sun is out this morning, it’s 76° and muggy, but all the talk on local TV is about rain and possible flooding.

Several things converged to make this happen:

  • Hurricane season began June 1st.
  • We just got through the Memorial Day flooding that caused multiple deaths and millions of dollars in damage.
  • Tropical Storm Allison, with its 9 Billion dollar price tag, hit this area in June of 2001.
  • TV news and weather folks Love to talk about disaster.
  • There is a disturbance in the Gulf that is headed our way.

If the disturbance becomes a tropical storm, and weatherfolk are saying there’s up to an 80% chance it will, it will be named Bill.  Even if it doesn’t, it looks like we are in for a wet week.
