Wow Alberto (I have now decided that this TS deserves a name) has really shown some strengthening, now I see why the NHC strengthens it to 60 mph.

oh goody. I hope we get strong ts winds and some thunder and lightening. But with that said I do wish commuters safe travel to and from work. And hope no significant damage ie. tree falling on house or car. but to see some sustained 50 mph or a little higher cool to me. But then again I will be home til 7:30. By the way we are under a tropical storm warning and isolated tornadoes expected. it is moving nne now at 8mph.

we're getting pounded with rain here. Before today maybe one day of rain in last several months. When it rains it pours. Radar looks impressive

I agree, I'm surprised. Remember that the 45 knots is a NHC estimate, the system could be stronger and the RECON will find out.
