Means fires could potentially spark in that area. this is in addition to the 73 large active wildfires that we currently have on going. thats spanning about a dozen states, and its scorched nearly 3 million acres thus far. we also have tropics. were nearing the -- we have the peak of hurricane season, which is september 10th. i can tell you with absolute certainty that louisiana at the moment doesnt look to be impacted by any tropical systems. but this little disturbance coming off of central am...

Shoutout to the men and women that work at the national hurricane center before this was even named, they had a beat on this storm. they knew the intensity in the different stages and had that cone of uncertainty across areas of louisiana. it didnt deviate much. they save aid will the of lives and gave good lead time for power crews and evacuations to take place. now, why do we always hype the difference between a category two or three? its not what you think when it comes to damage. you know, y...
