The Atlantic Ocean hurricane season is under way with Dean heading west towards the Caribbean Sea. Already Tropical Storm Erin has made landfall in Texas. Its winds "packed little punch," shrugged ABC's Mike von Fremd (subscription required), "but as a rainmaker the storm is as big as Texas." The flooding it caused in already-sodden Corpus Christi has made the city's tap water unfit to drink. NBC anchor Brian Williams consulted meteorologist Bill Karins of NBC Weather Plus about the storm track for Dean. Karins predicted a blast for Jamaica, the Yucatan Peninsula and Cuba but confessed to a "cone of uncertainty" about any landfall in the United States. Still he called Dean "a classic hurricane--this has all the earmarks of being just like one of those powerful storms we dealt with in 2005."
