[Hurricaneman]

this is the old adage even with a tropical system landfalling in Texas in drought, drought brings drought

[Hybridstorm_November2001]

Just got back on the computer, wow! I don't know if I have ever seen a tropical system make landfall and go poof!!! Simply amazing, maybe some of its energy will help fire of some storms during the day tomorrow.

Tropicwatch

Something similar, though not to this extend, happened with Charley up here in 2004. We were suppose to at least get heavy rain and strong winds from the system, the media was throwing around Hurricane Donna as a comparison which produced hurricane force wind gusts and patches of heavy damage all the way up into Central Maine, however by the time he got here we only received some very light showers (drizzle really) and near calm winds soon even those dissipated completely by the time the system fully entered the Bay of Fundy.

I just got on. What the heck just happened? Did it just go poof and whammo...? I have never ever seen anthing like this? I swear areas east of Houston got more rain today than this "Don" gave. Wow.

[Hurricaneman]

Don looks like one of those E-Pac systems before its declared dead, and some of those looked better than Don currently does

[bob rulz]

Wow, that is surreal. I've never seen a tropical cyclone literally disintegrate like that. Is that how dry Texas really is right now?!

[Tireman4]

Wow, that is surreal. I've never seen a tropical cyclone literally disintegrate like that. Is that how dry Texas really is right now?!

Yes. In Houston, we have seen storms come from the East with power and glory and just vaporize before us. I mean literally just go poof.

[Sanibel]

Insult to injury poofer.


Texas will probably be hoping 91L follows up with real precipitation.

[NDG]

I never bought on the idea of Don becoming a hurricane and or hitting the upper TX coast, but the way he just evaporated at landfall took me by surprise, in a way. Now even worst news is that the heat ridge is going to find a home in TX once again for at least a week.

[ROCK]

Don completely collapsed....must have decoupled as the EURO was thinking....not even a cloud left on Sat view...its like someone flipped the light switch off. I have never seen that happen in my life time either....very strange....

[South Texas Storms]

Don completely collapsed....must have decoupled as the EURO was thinking....not even a cloud left on Sat view...its like someone flipped the light switch off. I have never seen that happen in my life time either....very strange....

Yeah of course the only time we see a tropical system collapse before landfall is when Texas needs it most. Sigh. Hopefully we get many more weak tropical systems this year that actually provide us with some RAIN.

[HouTXmetro]

Yeah Rock, I'm in complete disbelief. I have never seen such a thing in my enter life of watching the tropics.

[Snow Deprived365]

That reminds me of what I have seen on radar here in Houston this year. Radar shows a nice thunderstorm approaching the area(You get all excited like it was going to snow or something). Then you start to see it downgrade as it gets real close. Then Poof, its gone! I think the government is experimenting with some type of anti-rain shield around Houston(maybe even Brownsville today).
