High temps today may get up to 63. We could use some heat. Sick of the cold weather we've had all summer.

I'm sure St. Louis, Tulsa, and DC would be glad to send some.

A high temp 63 is pure heaven compared to a fuckin' zillion degrees and 4000% humidity day and night. Summer is to the seasons what Monday is to the calendar week. If summer were a person, I'd kneecap him. If summer were a singer, it'd be John Mayer doing Mary J. Blige covers. If summer were a painter, it'd be Thomas Kincaid before he learned how paint shade. If summer where a sound effect, it'd be nails on a chalkboard - with John Mayer doing Mary J. Blige covers in the background. If summer were a flavor, it'd be dogshit pancakes with hobo vomit syrup. Mark me down as undecided on summer.

Texans hope for storm to intensify. Strangest thing I ever heard since I moved here in 1982.
The latest drought map for Texas shows that over 75% of the state is in exceptional drought--the highest category of drought.
Forecast for Don The big question for Don is, will it bring significant rains to Texas? According to the National Climatic Data Center, the six-month period ending in June 2011 was the driest on record. Average rain between January and June was more than eight inches (203 millimeters) below average in Texas, and the state experienced record heat between April and June. The heat and lack of rain have brought exceptional drought--the highest category of drought--to over 75% of the state. Don has the potential to bring some decent drought-busting rains to the state. If Don can expand in size and intensify to a 50 - 55 mph tropical storm, it has the capability to bring hundreds of millions of dollars worth of beneficial rains to the state. We don't want Don to stay in its current state, which is too small and weak to bring significant rains to Texas. If Don follows the current NHC forecast, which brings the storm up to a moderate-strength tropical storm, that would be just right. Don's small size makes it prone to dry air and wind shear, though, and it is uncertain whether the storm can overcome these problems enough to become a significant rain maker. NHC gave Don a 12% chance of intensifying into a hurricane in the 11am advisory, which is a reasonable forecast, since Don is running out of time to get its act together in time to become a hurricane. None of the computer models is predicting Don will become a hurricane.
For those of you wondering about your odds of experiencing tropical storm force winds, I recommend NHC's wind probability forecast. The 11 am version of this forecast shows that Port O'Connor, Texas has the highest chance of tropical storm-force winds (39+ mph): 45%.

So bruddah and kellik are accounted for after Sandy, how about pro? Thanks for asking! All is well with me, my building, and my car (I live on some of the highest ground in town), but Hoboken is a fucking mess, as of last night 20,000 people (population: 50,000) stranded in buildings still surrounded by water, no power in about 90% of town, flood waters contaminated with sewage and oil, National Guard is here, Maxwell's is closed, I ran out of Maker's Mark and beer, the list goes on and on. On the plus side the storm has, and I can't believe i am going to use this expression, really brought people together, I and my fellow very fortunate electricity-possessing neighbors have strung extension cords and power strips out of our windows so folks can recharge their proverbial electronic devices, I am meeting lots of very nice iPhone addicts. Off to wander the streets for a while, will update later if anything newsworthy happens. Tim
