Hurricane

Law enforcement officers, firefighters, and all emergency responders will be the guests of honor during an appreciation ceremony and parade to kick off Hurricane Awareness Day Saturday, September 26th, at the Lake Charles Civic Center. With the recent death of Senior Trooper Steven Vincent in the line of duty and several other law enforcement officials, the event is sure to hold even more signific

A tropical storm or hurricane this late in the season? There is currently a low pressure system in the Bay Of Campeche that has a 50% chance of further formation.

An area of low pressure located about 750 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands is looking like it will be out next named storm.

We have been lucky so far this Hurricane Season. It looks like our luck will hold with Tropical Storm Bertha.

Well here we are only six days into the 2014 Hurricane season and we could be looking at our first storm. Wasn't this supposed to be a year when El Nino affected our weather and hindered hurricanes?

The official beginning of Hurricane Season has passed us. It was Sunday June first and mother nature is wasting no time. We awake this morning to find our first area of disturbed weather in the tropics.

We now have a tropical storm in the  Gulf of Mexico. The winds have been clocked at sixty miles per hour. The question is what will this storm do next?

We have been watching this area of low pressure for a few days as it moved through the Caribbean Sea. NOAA is now predicting it will enter the Gulf of Mexico later this week.

We are all waiting for the arrival of fall. We had a little taste of it last week.  One good thing about cooler weather is that it usually signals the end of hurricane season. Well we jumped back up into the 90's and just to let us know the season is not over yet ... we have a new low pressure system to watch.

This low is not the real story. The real story is that it just popped up in the Gulf. Sure it is late in the season; but this proves it is not time to let our guard down.

This is the most tropical activity we have seen so far this year. To this point  mother nature has spared us ... unless you have vacationed in Cancun at the wrong time this year.

The tropics have been very busy lately. The good news is that no storms have threatened the U.S. Coastline. Let's hope that does not change.
