Tropics update: Tropical Storm Ernesto strengthens near Puerto Rico

Tropical Storm Ernesto is expected to become a hurricane late Tuesday as the center of the storm moves just northeast of Puerto Rico on a path toward Bermuda. Forecasters issued a hurricane watch for the U.S. and British Virgin Islands as well as the tiny Puerto Rican islands of Vieques and Culebra, which are popular with tourists.

Not many likely remember Tropical storm Anges in June of 1972. It rained for a solid week here in Pennsylvania and was the most devastating flood, since the flood of 1936. I was 10 years old and remember it well. My father had newspaper articles from Scranton pa area where caskets were popping out of the ground, it was so saturated.

When I was in middle school we were out for 2 weeks due to Irene and then a snowstorm on Halloween a week later. It was insane
