You don’t hear much about Pacific hurricanes, but this year is supposed to be a doozy in the number of storms. They are predicting an unusually high number of storms in the Atlantic as well.

Have you any idea of the joy that instills in people who work for property insurance companies?

A tropical storm in the Nevada desert, that doesn't seem right.

The Gulf is very warm for this time of year.
Look for a Cat 5.

August is monsoon season in the desert southwest. All of the wicked storms that hit Tucson were in August, into September. Last year was a good year from what I heard (= strong monsoon) but I'd have to look it up to be sure. Some years were a miss. I remember the years we lived there where I didn't have air conditioning in my car. What a man!

Yeah but the National Flood Insurance Program is shitting a brick right now. They don't actually like stuff like this.

But isn't it a good reason, or excuse, to raise rates for everyone?

Yes that’s the danger. Vegas will get a years worth of rain in a few hours. All drainage bets are off.

We'll be fine. Most likely we'll get 2-4" over two days.

Did you get hit yet Mik?
So far for us, it's been a continuous light drizzle.

We have off and on rain, just in bands. So far not bad.
