Barry forms in the Gulf of Mexico
My husband and I had lunch in Galveston today. This photo was taken as I was standing on Seawall Boulevard. The seawall was built in 1902 to protect the city against storms like the one that happened in 1900. The Gulf of Mexico is 17 feet below where I am standing. There is a tropical storm out there right now, Soon to become a hurricane (likely). Houston will be spared this time, but not so New Orleans.
