Tropical Storm

It is looking like we are about an hour away from Erika - the NHC will probably update and name this thing at 5 PM:

Which doesn't give people much time if they were not taking it serious earlier. Area 2 is about what area 1 looked like a week ago also.

Here is a current photo of this storm:

Yes, we have Erika as of 5PM. Could be right on top of us tomorrow night, but probably not too powerful....
