Weather guy just said the storm was go to sit over Texas for the next 4 days.
If only we'd get some much needed rain.
NWS says that the rumor of a 5.0 earthquake in the Gulf are unfounded, and no Tsunami is coming...

City official: relief supplies were to go to church
KENNER, La. (AP) -- The city official accused of diverting food and other supplies meant for hurricane victims says he was keeping them for a church, and only the minister's evacuation and the need to get his own sons to school in Natchitoches kept them at his house more than a day.
Cedric Floyd said Friday that he planned to go to the police station for booking on a felony malfeasance charge following a planned noon news conference with the Rev. Mark Mitchell.
Floyd said Mitchell has submitted an affidavit saying he asked the city to provide food and supplies to the New Hope Church drug ministry, and Floyd arranged to have him get them at his house, seven blocks from the church.
Mitchell had planned to pick up the supplies Monday, Sept. 19, but Floyd had to bring his twin sons to the Louisiana School for Math, Science and the Arts in Natchitoches, and didn't return to Kenner until late Monday.
By then, Floyd said, Mitchell was at a shelter in Baton Rouge, and couldn't get the supplies until Wednesday - a day after police searched Floyd's house.
Mayor Phil Capitano, who defeated Police Chief Nick Congemi in the 2004 election for mayor, suspended Floyd without pay on Wednesday.
Until then, Floyd was paid $82,522 a year as one of Capitano's top two aides, managing daily operations for Louisiana's sixth-largest city and supervising all workers except those in the legal, fire and police departments.
Military officials who had been working at the distribution site filed a complaint against Floyd. State Attorney General Charles Foti's office is helping Kenner police in the investigation.
