***TROPICAL ALERT*** TROPICAL STORM ETA (Late season tropical outlook discussion)

i was in Miami in 05 visiting my sister and flew out a couple of hours before they closed the airport for Katrina there. When I landed I talked to my sister who had rode out the storm in a closet and I was thankful she was ok. Right after I talked to her I turned in the news and it was headed here. I’m still not certain that storm wasn’t stalking me.
I remember watching that footage. Giant trees with giant root system yanked out of the ground. Was like, Dang, Miami. At that time, I don't think we were in the CoU here. So it was you!
