Humberto Fakes North - Heads East

WOW! Houstonist knew Humberto had strengthening potential, apparently he is "strong like bull", forming and achieving hurricane status within a 24 hour period. While Houston did not get much action, our neighbors to the East have been walloped with rains and sustained wind gusts of up to 85 mph. Houstonist has heard that there are possibly 100,000 people are without power this morning, as Hurricane Humberto made landfall just east of High Island and continues tracking inland toward the Louisiana border. Humberto should dissipate by Friday as it becomes enveloped by a cold front headed South. Now - let's keep a close eye on T.D. 8 - which is located west/northwest in the Atlantic east of the Lesser Antilles - conditions are favorable for T.D. 8 to grow into T.S. Ingrid later today.
