Who else is watching the Weather Channel coverage of the hurricane.

I bet more are watching this then the Republican convention.

Living on the gulf coast hurricane season is a stressful time.

Isaac could have hit the Houston area if the weather had been different.

Hurricane winds produce this howl, you never forget it.

7. Yep North Central Arkansas here

Already got a flood advisory from NOAA for our area from Thursday night thru Friday. TWC's Jim Cantore amazes me!

BUT, have to report this: Being from that Sacred Tomato Valley in N. Calif. it is just normal to check the USGS quake map. Today was unusual, A total of 7 quakes from 4:50 a.m. thru
6:04 a.m.

1.9 at 4:50 a.m. 9 miles from Imperial
1.2 at 5:29 a.m. 27 miles from Santa Rosa
1.8 at 5:30 a.m. 15 miles from El Centro
3.3 at 5:46 a.m. in the Pacific 41 miles from Eureka
1.7 at 6:00 a.m. 7 miles from Calexico
3.5 at 6:01 a.m. 19 miles from Kernville
1.9 at 6:04 a.m. 15 miles from Coso Junction

In my decade plus of checking USGS I had never seen that many "red" markings at one time. Obviously I had to look at each one because it is really not the norm.

So we may be getting drenched in the South, but things are a little shakey on the West.

Groan.
