Heeeeeeeeere's Erin!

It's official, T.D. #5 is now Tropical Storm Erin. It's expected to come ashore in somewhere along the South Texas coastline tomorrow morning. This comes on the heels of TS Dean chugging along in the Atlantic. It's been quiet so far but the Hurricane Season is still young.

And if you thought the gas prices were going down, well cross your fingers. Here's an excerpt from Reuters:

The energy market was watching both storms because either could disrupt U.S. oil and natural gas production and refining in the Gulf of Mexico. Commodities traders also track tropical storms because they can damage crops in Florida and along the Gulf Coast.
