CBS News | 1st Atlantic Storm Headed For Gulf | June 9, 2005 11:30:05 — It begins! According to the experts we should see a lot of these this year.

(CBS/AP) Tropical Storm Arlene developed Thursday in the northwest Caribbean Sea, and the Atlantic hurricane season’s first named storm edged closer to western Cuba. Gulf Coast residents, including those in storm-battered Florida, were warned to beware.

Arlene had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph after strengthening from a tropical depression that formed Wednesday, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said. Tropical storms have top sustained winds of 39 mph to 74 mph.

    So, don’t ask me if I miss living on the East Coast?

    I’ll take a hurricane over an earthquake any day!! At least you know they’re coming.

    In New Mexico we don’t especially worry about earthquakes either. Though we have decent odds for lava!

    Good ole Indiana. The occasional blizzard in winter, a few tornadoes in summer, and nice stuff in between.

    Hey Ed, how warm does it get down there? Well, think I’ll go water the lawn.
