...that is so sad.So, where is this monster going now. I am afraid to look. A well meaning friend called me to keep my eyes on it because of my daddy in Houston. I know y'all will send sarafunn back if it is time. ;-)
I know you guys do not need anymore rain DD. Thinking about you. Boy, we sure could use some 7th straight day of over 100? temps. Worst drought here in 100 years. I have never seen it so dry.
Awwwww..you're a doll, Darlene. Actually, we haven't had it nearly as bad as South Texas--Houston, etc., and the rain we got last night kept me from having to water today. But, our lakes are still full, so much rain would not be good. Hope you get some rain there soon! And some heat relief!
We need rain here also. We have had 8 days straight of over 100 degrees. 8 people have died here during those 8 days. We have a 30% chance of thunderstorms for overnight. Hope we get it. From what I just saw on Dean if it stays at its current speed or faster it will take a more northerly trek and go into the gulf along between Louisiana and Texas and catch part of Mexico. But if it slows it will stay along the Yucatan Peninsula. Winds are at 145 mph right now but there have been peak gusts of 156. Hope it slows down so it will be more likely to stay south for several reasons, one is to spare Louisiana and Texas and the Panhandle any damage.

NOAA maps show the current sustained windspeeds at 135mph as of 8pm Eastern time. Where are you receiving your info? I'm wondering if you know of a more recently updated site. 
The weather guy said tonight if Dean slows down, a low system that is currently moving east through the Southeast will pull it a but more to the north giving it a better chance of missing the Yucatan and hitting northern TX/LA. So for tonight at least...faster is better.
.
Well, from what I heard on the weather last night if it picked up in speed, moving at least 18 mph or more then there was a good chance that it would be pulled farther north by the upper level low but if it slowed down then it would stay over the Yucatan Peninsula. And it is moving west at 17mph right now which is down from the 18 last night so I hope it keeps slowing down. They are saying it could be affecting Texas Thursday or Friday now if it doesn't fizzle out which doesn't look likely.
Dear Dean,
Go South young man! We don't need your type in Texas.
Sincerely,
Miss Kitty

Hopefully Miss Kitty it will stay over Mexico. I just got through looking at a map of Dean and now they are showing the direction as WNW. I want us to be able to come down to the beach this next weekend. The man has not deposited our check for the rental of the place either. Wondering whether he is waiting it out to see what it is going to do or to see what we are going to do that is. They were showing it in the southern part of the Gulf around Wednesday if it goes that direction, now they are showing it around Thursday or Friday instead.

We can all relax-I just heard Dawn Brown
on the radio and she feels confident it will continue pretty much on its current route into Texico.
