I got two different forecasts on here:

One going over Tampa and the other going directly over me. I hope it comes my way though because my little sister is in Tampa.
Ski- does it seem unusual to you that there’s been several this year originating the Bay of Campeche — I grew up in Nola and have lived in Texas (west and central for the last 48 years) so I don’t pay that much attention always but I recall most started in Atlantic and moved into Caribbean usually— or am I just not paying attention
Now that you mention it... I've been in south Louisiana for almost 50 yrs. Hurricanes normally start in the Atlantic and move northeast. ish. I have seen one or two start in the gulf, but they usually go to tex mex. again northwest ish. Why are these guys moving east and northeast, opposite normal?
Yeah I just noticed it in the last few months cause I follow Texas Storm Chasers and we desperately need rain but even though they start there they track northeast— seems odd or I wouldn’t have noticed
The Bay of Campeche is usually most active in June/July. By this time of year the storms usually originate near the Cape Verde Islands as lows come out of Africa.
I'd say it's about the normal amount that have come out of there but the entire time I've lived down here, everything that's come out of there has either not hit us, or if it does, is at the most a tropical storm or a very weak cat 1. This particular one is definitely out of the norm. I can't help but think there is something nefarious as play here given the timing.
That is something else I’ve noticed— which is why we here in south Texas keep hoping for one to head our way and dump 5-6 inches of rain— we’ve been in drought conditions for years and I have a private well 😑
Awe what a good big sibling!
My family in Tampa are booking a flight out ASAP. Yesterday they were not concerned. Tonight is a different story. Hope your little sister does okay.
Update on your sister? Hope everything was ok.
Thanks for caring! She ended up coming and staying with me for the storm. She's safe and sound and hopefully her apartment will be okay.
Good to hear.
