Tropical Storms - 13

Notable storms that have affected the Baton Rouge area in recent memory:

2. Allison (2001) - Flooded SELA with 30+ inches of rain
3. Lili (2002) - Cat 4 weakened to Cat 2 just before landfall. SELA, being on the east side of the eye, dodged a huge bullet

6. Gustav (2008) - BR shredded by wind & power outages for 2 weeks

y'all are way too eager for a hurricane to form.

Nobody's wishing for a hurricane. I just find them very interesting to watch and track.

I'm inclined to think Erika will take PJ's trademark Atlantic hook, but I'm not as sure this one won't be a threat as I was for Danny. It's definitely got a wider window for development than Danny had.

I feel like there is a script for the Atlantic storms.
First, Jacksonville is screwed, then Savannah, then Charleston, the Myrtle Beach, then the Outer Banks is the one that usually receives the effects.
