1983 Redux?

The latest forecast seems to show that rejuvenated Tropical Storm Ernesto (or whatever they'll decide to call it once it gets to the Pacific side of Mexico) will proceed on a similar path that Hurricane Octave did in 1983, breaking up off of Baja California's Punta Eugenia.

When Hurricane Octave broke up, its moisture came streaming into southern Arizona and caused unprecedented flooding. I know! I was living in Tucson at the time. It was a completely-unexpected nightmare!

Will a similar catastrophe happen this time around? I can't wait to find out!

This Tropical Storm Ernesto is the best Tropical Storm ever!
