Hurricane Hype?

[Cranky]

Geez the local news is really tagging Beryl as a big ole nasty storm. It's not even 25% of what Ike was and I sure don't recall that one being hyped as bad as this little thing is. It does seem to have a bit more rain than Ike as Ike was a fairly dry storm but Ike filled up the whole Gulf of Mexico and more. As of right now Beryl is a strong TS as far as wind speed is. If they keep on with all of the hype, people are going to quit paying attention to the weather guessers and especially so if it comes in as a whimpering puppy instead of a big old bad dog!

The media has gone from reporting the news, to creating hysteria, pretty sad. Hopefully you and your family stay safe and share some of that rain with the rest of Texas

Looks like the rain will be spread out.....the guessers are saying we should get a little over 4" in my area which isn't all that much unless it comes down in an hours time. And I just noticed your location LOL

Always good to throw a little soft **** in the forecast on a Sunday morning!

We have the cantex pvc plant in town, every once in a while you get a nice warm plastic smell in the air, hence the nickname

They are calling it a high impact storm.....it was pretty bad for most of the islands though but it was a C4 at one point but right now, it's not even a C1 but is supposed to be before in comes inland. We'll see. I'm right on the edge of the winds being higher than 58 mph. The tornado that came close to my place last year put up 75 mph winds here. It was an EF3 and a little over a mile away.

Like they say here "be weather aware".

I already know a lot of people that never pay attention to the weather and then are surprised they got caught in a bad rain or worse. I got used to watching when I rode a bike and still do even though I haven't rode in a pretty long time.

And here I thought merely a friendly suggestion for a comfortable way to endure inclement weather..........

Pasadena had the nickname of Stinkadena when the paper mill was still around. I'm glad that thing is gone but it did provide jobs. There's lots of chem plants and refineries around where I am but since they all went to mechanical seals many years ago, the smells are all but gone. Every now and then, the sirens go off (glad they aren't that close to me!) when there's some kind of a release. One of the bad boys is about 7 miles east of me so lucky the SE breeze carries that mess away but every once in awhile the wind is out of the east and that's when you can smell it pretty good.

When I 1st saw your location, I thought you were in Dalhart...

Too many times though someone will post up something that's a bit harder and it gets the snowball rolling.....then one of us has to come and sweep them away.
