          Just read this...

          Texas just finished the hottest month in U.S. history.

          The average temperature throughout Texas during August was 86.7.

          That breaks the record for the previous hottest month ever experienced by a state, 85.2 degrees, which was set by Oklahoma in August, 1934. Oklahoma had held the top three spots.

          Texas also just experienced the hottest June-August in U.S. history.

          Also, estimates for August’s rainfall average statewide will be about .80 inches, putting it in the top 10 driest Augusts.

          Using that estimate the state’s yearly rainfall total for the first eight months of this year would be 7.54 inches, busting the old record, 10.65 inches, by 30 percent.

          If the estimate of .80 inches becomes official, Texas will have the driest recorded 12 months, with 14.9 inches. The previous 12-month record ? September through August was 16.17 inches ? in 1956, the tail end of the state’s worst drought.
          Please make it stop.

            If you draw a line between the last two way points on that projection, it comes right over the top of my house, and then marches straight for ClarkAddison and ParrotHead, while the windward/right side clobbers Tim. That "M" stands for "Major," as in Cat 3 or higher, hurricane.

            Let's hope for a low pressure and strong Gulf Stream!

              Man, it's been a crazy season so far. I hope this one follows Katia.

                  wuapinmon, please clarify the intended subject matter and scope of this thread.

                  Is it a hurricane thread? A weather thread? A random southern thoughts thread? We need to know so that we can properly determine when a new thread is warranted. TIA.

                          Check out the graph in landpoke's post above. Katia's headed for Scotland. But, there is a Scotland County, North Carolina.

                            It's probably God warning them about their deficit spending and increasing liberal social programs.
                            "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                              Yes. There is some confusion over the meaning of the apparent answer to Rick Perry's prayers for rain in Texas. Half of the state is ablaze.

                                Prepare yourselves Texas for a slow-moving saturating hurricane.
