Hurricane Nate will be the third major hurricane to whack America in the last six weeks. We don't want to get anyone fussin' over climate change ... but there's a whole lot of climate changing happening on the southern coasts.
The Guardian: Tropical Storm Nate kills 22 in Central America, heads for US
The area of coastline between Houston and New Orlean has been heavily whacked already and now Hurricane Nate comes to do it again. Nate goes East of New Orleans but that town still get a big servomg of that storming chaos.
The efficacy of recovery efforts has been so heavily politicized it's not been possible to accurately tell how they do. We'll not add anything further to exacerbate that since our primary interest is just that it happens again and, oh, hell no.
New Orleans, and states from Louisiana to Florida, braced Friday as forecasters predicted Tropical Storm Nate would pound the Gulf Coast this weekend as a hurricane.
According to the National Hurricane Center, the eye of the storm was expected to pass late Saturday or early Sunday about 50 miles east of New Orleans, which was devastated 12 years ago by Hurricane Katrina. It would be the third hurricane, after Harvey and Irma, to hit the US mainland in six weeks.

Zen Yogi: it seems the Gulf of Mexico is some kind of meteorological microwave oven
It does, Yogi, since it will enter as a Tropical Storm but becomes a Hurricane after crossing it.
There's not much the Rockhouse can do for the people in the affected areas but we can send our love and best wishes ... and please heed evacuation orders since they come from brave people who greatly increase risk to their own lives to ensure you get out safely.
The more science-y aspect is the accuracy of the forecast of the storm's path during the course of its travel since it may make some unusual turn which makes me wonder how can they possibly have known that. The forecasters haven't got it down to GPS accurate but they're exceptional regardless. Just imagine the joy joy feelings if we know a Hurricane is coming but have no idea where it will make landfall. The forecasters have done an exceptional job of burying that one and I'm duly appreciative of that effort.
