A Storm Is A Brewin'


I love Houston during Hurricane Season. I love that I just went to weather.com to check out the hour by hour forecast for the next couple of days and a good chunk of the immediate future is going to include squalls. Not too many around the US have the fun of squalls coming at them! I even had to look up squalls online to see EXACTLY what the definition is. I guess it is horrible of me to make light of it - but if you live here you have to admit that you get a little excited when you are watching the news and all the sudden there is a little storm a brewin' in the gulf. The water starts disappearing off all the grocery store shelves. The gas stations all start setting out the free 'What To Do In A Hurricane' pamphlets and the 'Track The Storm At Home' maps. All the electronic highway signs are changed to hurricane preparation instructions. And you start noticing more of the 'Contraflow 2 miles Ahead' signs as you are traveling farther north on I-45. You can't help but to get into hurricane mode quickly and have a little fun tracking the new unwelcome visitor. So if you are interested in tracking Edouard with us - click HERE.
