Jacky- My dad has told me about all the tornadoes Austin had when he was a kid and Carla (I think) hit the coast. My mom and him both talk about how crazy the weather got in Austin. And I remember it getting pretty hairy inland back on the 80's, I think it was Gilbert? But other than that I really don't remember noticing any hurricane/tropical storm that hit the coast. This one might get pretty big and I don't think one has hit where they projected us as a Tropical Storm (which is the current forecast) to see any of it since I was a little one. I am hoping it will be a lot weaker than forecasted when it hits.
