Thanks for letting me know. Wife's mom is down in Florida and we have to track this stuff for her.

Wow! Please take care everyone in that area.

Does she have a NOAA weather radio? There are also internet weather feeds with filters covering various areas and alerts.

She's 88. Hard to get her to follow any of that. (and we have tried !!! )

I hope it fizzles out before it hits the gulf. Stay safe!

Hurricane Agatha Makes Landfall in Mexico

And so it begins... The one thing I miss least about living on the Gulf Coast.

FYI ... If/when Hurricane Agatha crosses over into the Gulf of Mexico, it will change names, and become Alex.

Hurricanes in the Atlantic have their own set of names.
It doesn't happen often, but they do cross over sometimes like this one probably will do, and then change their identity.

I hope it doesn't cause too much damage and any loss of life. Wishing safety for any of our members and/or their families that may live in the path of the storm.

Some of the long range forecasts are calling for a Very Active hurricane season this year.

I can understand that. Katrina changed the entire mindset of seashore living.

Katrina changed the entire mindset of seashore living.

For us it was Dennis, hit just about a month before Katrina. Our bedroom the day after:

I say life comes first but from personal experience material loss can be just as devastating.

True, life of course does come first.

However the material loss is not something you forget... It was one of the reasons we moved.

Elsa and the video was from a year ago. There is still uncertainty as to whether "Alex" is a tropical storm or depression when crossing Florida. Once across Florida T.S. Alex becomes more likely.

Generally, the current Tropical Depression might become Alex, but a low end tropical storm, winds in the 30~50 mph range. A lot of rain, but nothing really unusual for Florida, in my opinion.
