Since I was a young boy, I have always been fascinated with weather, and particularly watching storms brew. Living in Indiana most of my life, I've never experienced a Tropical Depression or Tropical Storm, but we've certainly had numerous storms with winds that were in excess of 60 mph, that often produced heavy downpours and often hail.
According to the many weather experts, a Tropical Depression is when a storm delivers sustained winds of 38 mph or less, and if the sustained winds are 39 mph or greater, it becomes a named storm and is changed to a Tropical Storm.
As of today, Tropical Storm Colin will be making a path from the southwest waters in the Gulf of Mexico and will pass over Tampa in a northeasterly direction across Florida and then aim for the east coast.
Be safe everyone, and take this storm very seriously, as extensive flooding may occur. This storm may produce tornadoes as well.
