Hurricane Barry and Other Future Storms

[missing]

It isn't a hurricane yet, but there's concern it will be one by this weekend.

A disturbance in the northern Gulf of Mexico has been named Potential Tropical Cyclone Two by the National Hurricane Center and is forecast to become Tropical Storm and possibly Hurricane Barry as it lashes the northern Gulf Coast this weekend. This system will bring a threat of significant rainfall flooding, storm-surge flooding and high winds to parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and East Texas.

For anyone in its path, keep safe, and when you can, keep us informed.

Nobody has posted here yet? I'm in Ohio, so no "reports", just that there is a "severe weather channel" that only shows up during hurricanes. It just goes from one local station to another without commercials or anything, showing radar, damage, talking to people, flooding, etc. Anyway, I just wanted to say that one of them had a story of three deer (one with big antlers) slogging through water up to their necks. I don't know if they were swimming or what. They kept going from moving brown water up to tall grass, then to more brown water, then up to another patch of grass. The reporter said they were trying to get to higher ground. I was like "go!" every time. And then the reporter said she didn't want anyone to worry, that the crew stayed with them until they made it safely to higher ground! I hope they stayed there. People, be safe too!

Living in the southeast, and in a state with coastline hit by major hurricanes, our local news stations tell us what's coming from Africa! Blow by blow, day by day, and which way the storm/hurricane may or may not go depending on how the winds do or don't change.
At least we have time to prepare, well ahead of time.
