I'm significantly more interested in weather-related tips now that, you know, the weather is starting to suck. Umbrella Today alone has already saved me from some downpours! But since I live in a place like San Francisco where the weather report changes every three seconds (yes, literally), I am grateful for ForecastFox.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, November means a return to rain. I've been enjoying the weekend showers, myself, as they give me an excuse to stay inside and complete half-finished DIY projects. I also have friends in the Northeast and Midwest who've already experienced some early snow showers.

As Tropical Storm Gustav makes its way toward the Gulf Coast, practically three years to the day after Hurricane Katrina hit (which I myself experienced firsthand), I'm feeling pretty uneasy. The storm has already killed 11 people in the Caribbean and is projected to hit Louisiana and the Gulf Coast on Monday. Yikes.

Yesterday, Hurricane Dolly made landfall in Southern Texas in the town of South Padre Island, with 120 mph winds ripping roofs off homes, pouring down rain, and sending residents looking for shelter. Contact with land brought the winds down from category 2 speeds to category 1, and now flooding along the Rio Grande has become the main concern over the next few days, thanks to Dolly's "sluggish nature."
Over 3,000 residents of low-lying areas by the river and the coast went to crowded schools for shelter.

Since I love to exercise outside, if the weather is crummy, I'm definitely less enthusiastic to work out. I admit that I've woken up ready to go for an early morning run, saw that it was raining, and climbed back in bed. I could have popped in a fitness DVD or lifted some weights, but the weather dampened my get-up-and-go.

Louis Badalament is either ill-prepared or extremely nervous. Or both. Watch the poor dude start, stop, "ugh," and "umm" through his report on the local and national weather conditions.

As all three of the Midwest's major rivers — the Missouri, Illinois, and Mississippi — rise above flood level, residents face record flooding and mandatory evacuations. Today the US Army Corps of Engineers plans to close nine locks and dams on the upper Mississippi River.
Closing the locks means that the economic repercussions of the flooding will rise along with the rivers — the decision will halt traffic on 200 miles of prime commercial waterway.

Storms brought huge hail, heavy rain and tornadoes to Iowa and Minnesota this weekend, killing at least seven people in Iowa and one 2-year-old in Minnesota.
The raging storms left parts of towns reduced to rubble and heavy rain and lightning continued with wind gusts of 70 mph. The National Weather Service pegs the storms to a massive warm system that had been centered over the southern and western great Plains several days ago.

When the ground is wet, are your pets playing in the splashy puddles or slinking around with tentative steps?
