EDUARDO remains a tropical storm with sustained winds of about 100 kph or 60-something mph. For most people the storm wont be different than a normal day of rain and blustery winds, such as occur with cold fronts.

Goodo. Doesn't sound so bad as I'd heard earlier today.

Our govenor, who is an asshole, at least got some stuff ready just in case, like some helicopters and the like, standing by. Peoples on the coast could always get trashed and smashed by even a storm.
One of the major things after a hurricane or tropical storm hits our coast is floods and winds after it makes landfall, even when it gets downgraded. And then of course the tornadoes spinnin off the mofo in the storm path.
That last hurricane or storm a few weeks ago didn't even give us no rain where I am, but I am a long ways from the coast.
Hoping for some rain, we haven't had any for about a month, 100 degree heat, the grass in my yard is dead and I water trying to save the trees and shrubs.
See ya.

Some people will experience problems, because of where they are and what they live in, but the damage will be minimal for the region. I'm speaking of street flooding, trees falling over because of water saturated soil, electric outage, etc. But life will be normal in a day or two.

Morning Starr and thanks for thinking of us.
This thing came ashore about a hundred miles south east of me and it's not much of a hurricane believe me. 60 mph winds max, maybe. mostly 35-40 mph and some rains that are heavy. It wore itself down on the Louisiana coast last night and didn't get back over warm water like they thought it would.
The wind and rain are just now getting here. you hear a gust of wind and some heavy raindrops and then nothing. repeat at odd intervals.

E-mail me some heavy raindrops T.
Uh.... Exactly what do you put heavy rain drops in to e-mail.... Abucket seems to small and a barrel too large.
ETA: Right now we aren't getting wind or rain. Just a light misty drizzle.

If Tampa catches a hurricane, the storm will likely push the state into bankruptcy. Our problem is large population, low ground, and 4-5 bridges that will fail. Once the bridges go, a million people in Pinellas County will be trapped after the storm passes. The water of Lake Tarpon will cut-off the only land egress. I've seen the lake rise over the highway when I was a kid. The county is almost an island as it is. Pinellas will lose its airport and Coat Guard base.
In Tampa City the airport will go, along with the Air Force base. Much of Tampa will be under 12-24 feet of water because of water pushed into the Bay. The Bay is very shallow.
NOAA has a website that depicts the potential destruction to Tampa.

This is the dude that Ann Richards nicknamed "Good Hair," right? Windstorms would naturally be a priority.

"Good Hair" is about the only thing "Good" about him.
The eye is about 60 miles east of Huston and I'm starting to get some of the stronger feeder bands. The thunderstorm on Saturday here had stronger winds and more rain. right now it's a nice cool 76 degree day. Since it's been 98 to 103 for the last couple of weeks it's a refreshing relief.

The best headline I saw was:
Edouard comes prematurely. Houston gets sloppy blow job.

Seven inches
of rain at my house in Baytown (30 miles east of Houston). I went to work in Houston, but they ran me out of the office even though it was only raining lightly in Houston. They wanted me to drive home, back into the storm for safety reasons.
There was some minor flooding at some exits off of Interstate 10 and on my way home I noticed a metal storage shack blown over, otherwise no damage, no trees or even major branches down.
From what I hear Baytown and the nearby area took the brunt of the hit, so hopefully no one had too much trouble.
