Hurricane Humberto Sure Punked Me

Hurricane Humberto making landfall in Southeast Texas 2007

Wow, I feel totally punked this morning with “Hurricane Humberto” making landfall on the Texas coast overnight as a 85mph hurricane. Talk about rapid organization from a depression to a hurricane with 24 hours while sitting practically on the coast. That’s one hurricane I didn’t expect. Hurricane Humberto now moving inland over Southeast Texas bringing very heavy rains and winds.

Tropical Depression 8 Remains Disorganized

Our central Atlantic Tropical Depression 8, which I thought would end up being “Humberto” until our little rapidly organizing Gulf storm took the name yesterday, remains very disorganized early this morning. The storm continues to fight with wind shear and dry air that’s not allowing organization of the system. Actually, TD8 has a rough road ahead as the computer forecast models forecast impressive strong shear in a few days. TD8 is forecast to become a Tropical Storm within the next 24hours, but won’t strengthen much after that. It will be interesting to watch to see if our storm can survive the hostile upper-level wind environment into the weekend.
