Watching the Tropics

It's August now, and history tells us that the tropics are going to tart getting frisky.   Some of the notable August hurricanes that I remember whacking Louisiana were Camille (1969), Andrew (1996), Katrina (2005), Gustav (2008), and Harvey (2017).  I'm sure I missed a few, but those are the ones that I recall re-arranging my property. Katrina missed us, but the inflow of refugees played havoc with our locale.

The weather-weenies are telling us that this August is shaping up to be more active, but historically, September is the big month. I've been keeping an eye on NOAA and I'll continue to check them until November.
