Hazel Bazemore Hawk Watch, Fall 1998
Report Date: 10/06/98
Anyone even accidently catching a glance at the weather radar today
probably knows, south Texas had no hawk watches today! Got 4.5" of rain
just at our south Corpus Christi home; what an adventure trying to drive to
work. Winds and rain were worse than TS Frances.
Now the moment is at hand; will they come through our watch sites, or won't
they? Stay tuned; same bat time, same bat channel ..... (that IS public
domain now, isn't it?!) ....
