And Laura appears to be bypassing most of Florida. Other Gulf states beware...

Ok, so Marco [assuming it becomes Marco] could be worse. Makes landfall in Texas on Tuesday as a Tropical Storm. Not ideal, but preferable to a Cat 5.

It's official. The Florida storm is Laura and the Texas storm, when named, is Marco

2004 and 2005 were hellishly busy for hurricanes, but I do not recall two back to back like this, so close that we didn't know which one would get which name. If the projections are right, the Texas-Louisiana one becomes Laura and the Florida-Alabama one becomes Marco.

Unless, of course THIS becomes Laura first. In which case the one above becomes Marco. Is everyone taking notes? TEXAS! This one may be coming for y'all after all!

Well, as they say, that escalated quickly. It will now be a hurricane as it blows through the Keys (which means it will be rough for us further north on Monday). But again, I'm still more worried about what happens in the Gulf. This is going to be hell on the Panhandle. Say hello to Laura, everyone.

They're not issuing advisories on the one furthest west, so other than more-rain-than-average, it's nothing to buckle up for. The middle one should become Laura at some point soon. Not more than a tropical storm at this point, but that could always change. My area, South Florida, keeping an eye out. I'm a bit more worried about what happens once it is in the Gulf.

No cones yet, but here we go...

Go ahead. Make me mayor. You're up

Coming up next, Laura and Marco. More details as they develop, but right now both are in the "what's that you say" category.

George has the right franchise, wrong movie and line

A variation of this movie's most famous line was used a couple of years later in a political campaign when the movie's star embarked on a brief, known-but-mostly-under-the-radar political career. While this movie is part of a franchise concerned with the criminal justice system, this is the only entry with a courtroom scene.

Without even seeing the movie, I'm guessing Gran Torino

No threat to the US, won't become a hurricane. That was fun while nothing happened. Next!

Looking good for the USA

The Tropical Storm Imminently to be Known as Josephine Anyone's guess right now where it goes.

Might as well put all the cones and whatnot in one place instead of a thread for every storm. I will be focusing on Atlantic storms, given that Pacific storms don't really affect GSC participants much. I also want to apologize for focusing in the past on storms that are headed for Florida and then losing interest once I'm out of the cone. I usually expect others to jump in once that's done, but that doesn't seem to happen a lot. So anyway, let us begin with...

And if I go another 100 years without hearing it, it will be too soon (thank you Applebee's)

Honest mistake. Busy day. Murphy's Romance.

Murphy's Law, with what's his name, Jim Rockford. James Garner.

Did they like her? Did they really like her?

Well, that was a big bust. Close as it came to Broward, there was ZERO panic. I should add there was zero hype. A yawner for us so far. Anyone else near the path, please keep your eyes open and be prepared.

Close enough

Sorry, but if this story ended "and that's how he became a Muslim" no one would entertain any possibility it was true. But ok, it wasn't something VPW or LCM made up. I was wrrrrrrr. I was wrrrrrRrrrrRrrRRrRRRR. WordWolf, a hand here?

I apologize for calling it a myth when it was clearly a comedy.
