Re: Tropical Storm Cristobal Forms From TD3

I've been checking out some of the buoys off of the upper Texas and La. coasts and let me tell you, THE PRESSURES ARE DROPPING AND DROPPING FAST! One of the buoys just south of Galveston went from 29.95 at 2:00 to 29.88 at 7:00 and it is still dropping. The buoy off of the La. coast has had the same kind of pressure drop.Bertha is not even off shore yet and this is happening. I read on tropicalweatherwatchers.com that she could possibly strengthen rapidly once over water. The only thing is it looks like it could move towards deep south Texas before it would hit land. WOW!!! Of course, it could get out there and not do a darn thing. At least we have some excitement out there.
