Finally, I have the chance to blog about this massive hurricane! (Now that hubby is back to work today. Oh, by the way, it looks as if he will be leaving for Russia in about 1 week.)
I am not sure why I am so intrigued by pictures, radar & news stories of severe weather situations, such as hurricanes & tornadoes.
I know that I would not want to be in the path of one of these furious storms! However, if ever given the chance, I'd love to get some pictures of my own of a tornado or 2!! 
I just wish I know why God has put this curiosity in me! I know deep down in my heart there is a reason why... just haven't figured it out as of yet!
ANYWAY, today, I just wanted to focus a little on Hurricane Dean, it looks as if it maybe on the list of notable storms, like Katrina is.
Thankfully, however, it looks as if it may not effect the state of Texas like it was 1st predicted.
Don't get me wrong, my heart (& prayers)
goes out to those who already been & are to come, into it's path! It's just Texas does not need anymore rain. 
It's places like Florida & Georgia that's in need of rain, (but not by a Category 4 hurricane!)Here is that radar picture in motion! Just look at how impressive this thing is!!
Click for the project path of Dean & it's storm track. (Keep in mind these link should change with each update from weather.com. I will try to get a screen print of it every so often to update this blog at the end of the storm. Or I'll link to a new blog! So, if you don't already have weather.com bookmarked & don't want to bookmark these links, you can just come back here for updates!!)
Here are some more links to other pages with some great views of Hurricane Dean. This is a view from the Space Shuttle & this is a view from the International Space Station. Here is a view from the GOES Satellite... & another view.
Speaking of the Space Shuttle Endeavour, they've been ordered to come home a day early, due to the storm. (Which I am not sure why... because they can land in California or Florida, if needed, instead of Houston. Now, I'm confused... they are going to try to land in FL. If that's the case, then why come home a day early? Just my opinion!!)
This is the "public advisory" & "forecast advisory" about Hurricane Dean. I do not know if these are permanent links, or if it too updates automatically.
However, if needed, you can search through NOAA's National Hurricane Center website to find updates & much more information!! Take a look throughout this site. It is quite interesting & informative! I highly recommend you book mark their home page... especially if you're area is susceptible to hurricanes!
This link is to Noaa's Tropical Storm Position & Intensity charts.
Just for comparison & because I don't remember Katrina... here is an image I found in Noaa's archives. (If you have the option, click the picture to enlarge it to get greater detail.) Talk about MASSIVE!! My goodness!!
There is so much more I could link to... but I want to leave you time to check it all out!!
Again, my thoughts and prayers are with all who are affected by these storms!!
Have a great day!
I may post again... but i do have to get some cleaning done, among other things!!(FYI - in case you're wondering... I have to save this every so often by posting it. Because after a little bit, the editor, slows WAY down on me for some reason! That's why I put a disclaimer in while I'm getting it ready!! It's a glitch I am working with Yahoo about. Hopefully it's just something in my computer that I can fix!!)
