Went to Navasota. Gas lines were short.

I'm supposed to be staying at a hotel in Houston tonight but I can't get through to them on the phone. Starting to look at other options. Everyone I've called so far either isn't answering or is booked all up. What are my odds of finding a room anywhere near Houston?

Tropics are awfully quiet, is it the Saharan dust? All the doom and gloom about record water temps...
Complex systems are notoriously hard to predict. There are so many variables to weather that it's no wonder our forecasts are only good out to maybe ten days. But on the other hand....Quote:
Apparently that is a big part of it. Saharan dust has been long lasting and intense this year. La Nina is also taking its sweet time. Supposedly September is supposed to be really active, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Halfway through supposedly super active September and we've had 2 named storms. Average is 4. We might see one form in the Gulf next week, but right now we're on track for an average to below average month. That would make 8-9 named storms for the year, depending on what happens. At this rate, we'd need a record October to meet even the minimum "above average" season predictions, and it looks like we may even finish the season below average.
So much for climate change making typical storms more frequent and more powerful...
