GDI Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 That projected path sure looks like Texas is going to get some action from Beryl. Maybe a direct hit on the Coast and a lot of rain inland. Be prepared. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've never had to board up and evacuate to only come back to destruction, believe me, you never want to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go back to Hurricane Carla, we were 90 miles inland and that got my attention at a young age. I respect what Mother Nature is capable of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bierce Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Going to be a hellacious season with ocean temperatures the way they are and El Niño giving way to La Niña. The former tends to make a lot of Atlantic storms stay in the Atlantic. The latter invites most of them into the Caribbean and Gulf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
