Cold Front Rain Bands

Cold front rain bands are moving through the area. The conditions are kind of nasty right now, choppy, windy, and small.  The swell is solidly from the west.  Because it is so small, beach-breaks are probably working better.  The swell is noticeably getting better as I write this.

And, it looks like it could have been a part of the Leonids meteor shower. Continue reading Fireball Over the Gulf of Mexico →

Trees were uprooted, railroad structures were damaged, streets were flooded, and property was damaged. This is what happens when a category three storm with maximum sustained winds around 120 miles per hour brushes the coast. Continue reading Matthew Carnage →
