2. Yes. If/when it gets named, it will be "Franklin."

Heading straight for Florida's Treasure Coast by the looks of it.

3. It's a very hot year, expect a lot of them.

TX lucked out on Emily, it was just far enough away that we didn't have too much damage (at least I didn't). Some power outages and downed trees, but not too bad.

4. Franklin

I heard on nbc news that if it turns into a huricane thats the name. Not to make light of the situation but I cant get that cartoon song out of my head. "Here come's Franklin..."
