The first tropical storm of the summer is heading straight towards us, and expected to make landfall in South Texas tomorrow morning.
"Erin" was upgraded from "Depression Five" to "Tropical Storm" status at 10am today, meaning its maximum sustained winds are somewhere between 39-73 mph. Meteorologists at The Weather Channel believe that she'll affect much of the Texas coast, with cities from Brownsville and Corpus Christi up to Louisiana seeing anywhere from 2 to 5 inches of rainfall. Locally, the thunderstorms will likely start tonight and continue through the weekend.
Meanwhile, Gov. Perry has deployed Texas National Guard troops to the coast, in case there's any serious flooding.

Damn you, Erin.
Just when I was about to wash my car...
i believe that washing one's car in the midst of a hurricane saves water. put your shoulder into it, boiiiiiii!
wait a second...so is global warming real or not?
Yes it's real. Watch the Al Gore Power Point Movie. The polar ice caps melting is what's causing all this rain.
along with a million other factors.
