Liberty's Blog: You're Kidding. Wilma?

You're Kidding. Wilma?

Sheesh! A new Huricane in the Gulf. Eric Berger, the Sci Guy, tells us we shouldn't worry much about Wilma here in Texas.

But even though the three-day track for Wilma may look a little dicey for the Lone Star state, the storm's almost certainly not coming here. Don't believe me? Our local office of the National Weather Service is saying the same thing.

There's really two possibilities for Wilma. The storm could move into the Gulf and curve east, likely toward Florida.

Alternatively it could keep moving west, hit the Yucatan or points south, setting up a miserable rain event for Central America, like Stan or, gulp, Mitch. The most-recent model runs certainly support such a scenario.

Enough already. I'll be glad when this season is over.
