As we speak, rains from Tropical Depression Erin are targeting our area for the weekend, meaning a break (and probably a permanent break) in the 100 degree days. But that's not the main story. The big story is Hurricane Dean, that looks to be a Category 4 or 5 juggernaut that should skip through Yucatan into northern Mexico. Check out Frank Strait's Accuweather blog at www.accuweather.com/news-blogs.asp. He notes that Dean looks an awful lot like Hurricane Gilbert in 1988. For those of you old enough, on Sept. 18, 1988, the remnants of Gilbert dumped better than 8 inches of rain on the Wildlife Refuge and caused flooding, especially in Cache. Strait also says this year's weather reminds him of '88 and '83. In 1983 a Pacific Hurricane named Tico came up here and caused flooding, especially in Chickasha and Sulphur. Hmmm.

Re: Here comes the rain again
The rain was short lived for us and the hot days are back. Although maybe not 100%. By the way where did Chicken Little Go! I miss talking about him.
