Insightful weather product, now I have to ask I know the front pushed the TS/Hurricane soon, but it appears Sally stole my cold front as well by the push back.

Ggetting rain?

Just 1/4 inch today from an failed tropical depression that never formed. It is SE of us now and we are on the outside edge of that one.

As I was feeding my birds about 2 hours ago! I almost met my destiny with certain death. I reach down to empty the feed trough and refill it, my arm/hand was about 6" away from a 2 1/2' rattlesnake. Why it didn't strike or rattle is beyond my comprehension. Didn't see it until I was back up right. Certainly made my butthole pucker!

Rumor has it they are learning not to rattle due to feral hogs. I guess the hogs will hunt them down and eat them?? No answer for why it didn’t strike...

Wow. I've pulled several rat snakes out of my nest boxes, but thank goodness, never a rattlesnake! That's scary!

If you are a coastie please watch the tropics for the next couple of weeks there are a few disturbances that have me a bit anxious. By Coastie I mean within 100 miles of the coast. Who here has ever seen a storm form at 45 degrees north in dry air?http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-ti...l_colors&prod=natl&timespan=120hrs&anim=anigf

This storm is bigger than Texas, France or Spain. I've been to all of those places so felt like using capitol letters in this isolated case.

That's a huge storm, I noticed it forming off the coast of Africa, last week, had a huge circulation pattern back then, I think I mentioned that around this time in the season, those storms usually are very strong once organized Cat 4 and Cat 5

Another to watch is the one that's trying to form in the Gulf right now. This one bothers me more than the other....supposedly, according to models, is headed for a South Central Texas landfall (Corpus).

Yep that one has been dawdling for over a week now but it is now in the Bay of Campeche where the water is warm and shallow. Ideal place for a storm to form.
