Tropical Storm Chris
By the time you read this, our friend Chris there in the Atlantic might be a hurricane, one alarmingly predicted to take the same early path as Hurricane Rita.
At this writing, Chris was located just east-southeast of Puerto Rico and packing 60 mph winds, a rapid escalation from earlier today, when it was barely a named storm. It is a named storm farther out than Rita was.
It's almost certain that Chris will enter the Gulf of Mexico, perhaps in the same spot that Rita came in as a tropical storm before growing to a Category 5 beast and then attacking Southeast Texas as a Category 3.
Of course, various and unpredictable meteorological factors will come into play by the time Chris hits the Gulf of Mexico, as it is predicted to do by Monday.
Nevertheless, Southeast Texans are probably already feeling a little gut burning over this.
I've yet to see one important question asked about Chris: is it a boy or a girl?

Last pronoun I heard was 'he'. I think they alternate between male and female, and the first named storm this year was Alberto.
