#3 "100 mph winds blew semi tractors off the road while hail knocked out the windows of vehicles caught in the storm." Last night, south of Wichita as global warming comes to Kansas.

#5 This is un-presidented, a Cat. 2 hurricane roaring ashore in July on the Tex-Mex border.

Where's that damn dry ice salesman? $2.49 a lb. looking better.

#6 at 700 pm CDT it was well inland, almost certainly will be downgraded to a tropical storm by 1000pm CDT

also velocity has picked up slightly

still, this will dump over 10 million acre-feet of rain into the lower Rio Grande river basin and while some of this area is in a drought, that much water will do some bad things to houses, roads, etc.

#7 People smuggling numbers will likely fall until this is over. See? No cloud without a silver lining! ;-)

Stay safe, Texas Rantburgers. Keep an eye out for our darling moderator Sherry.
