RedScare Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 The 2012 Hurricane season's 4th named storm is Debbie, and it is projected to hit the Texas coast.http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/http://blog.chron.com/sciguy/2012/06/looks-like-debby-close-to-forming-and-it-may-threaten-texas/This is the earliest that a 4th named storm has developed, and the first time that 4 named storms have developed in June. It is not expected to reach hurricane force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 New coordinates show Debbie as a tropical storm. Predictions now expect it to reach hurricane strength by Tuesday evening, and reach Texas shores by Thursday or Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNiche Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 New coordinates show Debbie as a tropical storm.

A lot could happen between now and Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksmu Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Paranoid or prepared? Its a perspective thing...Wife says Im paranoid, I say Im prepared...either way I have already gone and gotten everything I need to stick it out here in Houston for 6-7 days without power or services....fuel/food/water/booze - I hope it misses us though. I dont need anything else to clean up after....one 2 year old is plenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 If you are purchasing items that can be used with or without a storm, it is hard to call shopping early to avoid the ridiculous crowds paranoid. Anyone who has had to stand in those lines for groceries, batteries and gas in the past knows better. The latest projections are less impressed with a Texas landfall. More likely is that Debby keeps heading north into Louisiana...though the 5 day forecast still shows Texas as distinct possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdude Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Early days, but the storm appears to be tending north, with landfall expected in Florida or Alabama. The real weather story for this week is very high temperatures, with potentially not enough electricity to go around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
