Humbled by Humberto

Talk about an unwelcome guest!

First Humberto drops in completely unexpected. Then he decides to morph from a tropical storm to a hurricane without any explanation whatsoever.

And he blows through in the wee hours, making sleep pretty much impossible.

Good riddance, H-man.

Also, we need to stop making history like this.

Hurricane Rita, according to Wikipedia, was the most intense tropical cyclone ever observed in the Gulf of Mexico.

Same month, two years later, Humberto reached greater intensity faster than any other tropical cyclone.

That’s enough for the upper Texas Gulf Coast. I though Florida was supposed to be Hurricane Central.

Back at the homestead in Groves, the power is still out. Rumor has it that it could be two or three days before the juice starts flowing again.

I hope that’s as wrong as the experts who said Tropical Storm Humberto would bring a little wind and rain.
