Which storms will be the big ones in 2011

[Hurricane Jed]

Katia sounds like a nice Category 3 hurricane that develops in November and hits Texas as a 2. Texas hurricane free in November since 1839

You're not nice. I don't like you anymore!! J/K We came close with Jerry in 1989, so I guess it is possible, but I sure wouldn't put it in the realm of probable.

I read Jeanne threatened in 1980 before a cold front wiped it out. Jerry was mid/late October wasn't it?

[OuterBanker]

I've always felt cheated. David was only used once then retired.

[OuterBanker]

But my wife's name has never been used.
And never can be used.

Can you guess what it is?

Hint. The male version is spelled differently , but it too can't be used.

If you have this name you will know immediately.

[Hurricane Jed]

Charley/Charlie?

[OuterBanker]

Gail, Gayle

[Hurricane Jed]

Why can't it be used? I know it was on the lists before the current system was created but since it isn't retired couldn't they vote to use it if Grace/Gert/Gabrielle were retired?

[somethingfunny]

Hurricane Gale? It's an inherent oxymoron.

[OuterBanker]

Correct funny!

But the name looks good across the transom of a boat.

Gail Force

Lots of comments on that one. You would be suprised how many don't know the spelling difference though.

[Hurricane Jed]

Lol there was a Hurricane Gail in 1953

[Metalicwx220]

The answer was gale?

Jerry was mid October. I will always remember it because I was in Dallas with 11 teens on a church trip when it formed. We rushed to get back to Houston before it hit(not sure why now that I think of it, except the parents wanted their kds with them?). We made it fine, but where we were on the West side of Houston it was almost a not event because Jerry was so compact. It hit Baytown which is on the East side of the Houston metro area.

[Hurricane Jed]

I'm from Hill Country area of Texas and we always want something to hit Texas so we'll get rain because the drought is usually horrible here. And then Hermine moved through last year and that wasn't too fun. Enough tropical moisture to last me a life time.

Jed I'm from SA and Hermine was amazing! I had so much fun tracking that and all of the rain that we got from her is the only reason we arn't in a severe drought right now.

I'll admit it was exciting. It was hell going outside in torrential rain every hour to dump the rain out of the gauge because it would only hold five inches. That was the wasn't too fun part. I don't mind a lot of rain just not 16 and a half inches to where it starts coming inside your house lol. I went and bought an electronic rain gauge shortly after Hermine haha.

[South Texas Storms]

Haha I take the rain whenever I can get it because sometimes it doesn't come for a long time...
