Growing up in the RGV I always think about Beulah in the third week of September 1967. Lived through that. I also find it interesting that a late September storm had a "B" name. Our ability to track fish storms has sure changed since then. I'm sure there were other storms that weren't tracked and named that year before Beulah.

I think of something completely different when I hear the name Beulah:

This is why we can ignore reports that there are more named storms now than ever before.

Exactly. There wouldn't be all the named storms if the weather poofs didn't have missives to keep eyeballs glued to 24 hour news coverage.
