Remembering Hurricane Andrew, this day 30 years ago:

On the evening of August 19, a second @53rdWRS Hurricane Hunter was unable to locate a center at 5000 ft., and the minimum pressure had risen. NHC estimated that Andrew had weakened a bit to 45 mph. #Andrew30

Today and Friday, heavy rain associated with a tropical disturbance off the coast of TX will mean a chance of flash flooding for portions of TX & LA. NEVER drive into floodwaters. Half of all flood-related deaths occur in vehicles. Turn around, don't drown

Ever wondered why a tropical storm or hurricane gets a name? 🤔

Over time, it was learned that using short, easily remembered names in written and spoken communications is quicker and reduces confusion when two or more tropical storms occur simultaneously.
