October 4th 2017....A much needed walk on the beach..I still keep an eye on the tropics, because this season has been an exceptionally cruel busy one..As of today, Tropical Depression Nate is brewing near the Caribbean and is forecast to head into the Gulf..We in Houston are still reeling from Hurricane Harvey..In the weeks since Harvey flooded Texas ,Hurricanes Jose, Irma and Maria have all come and gone from various locations in the US..Too early to tell who Nate is going to call on..
