Tropical Storm BarryI was looking forward to making a splash but unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), I was only a tropical storm.

I have been classified as a tropical storm. You can track the forecast advisories beginning on June 1st, to the public advisories, discussions and wind speed probabilities at National Weather Service.

Wikipedia has some nice information on TS Barry, Tropical Storm Barry.

On May 30, a broad low pressure area formed in the Gulf of Honduras. Moving northward, the system slowly deepened as it moved through the northwest Caribbean sea into the southeast Gulf of Mexico. On June 1, the first day of the officially defined hurricane season, this cyclone organized into Tropical Storm Barry despite being located in an area of high shear, and warnings were immediately issued along the Western Florida coastline. Barry provided much-needed precipitation to parts of Florida which were experiencing drought conditions in the January to May months.[17] Barry made landfall near Tampa Bay, Florida on June 2 as a minimal tropical storm. Soon thereafter Barry was downgraded to a tropical depression as it began its extratropical transition. Barry became an extratropical cyclone late in the afternoon of June 2. On June 3, the cyclone moved up the coast of the Carolinas bringing rains into the Mid-Atlantic states and New England.

So I was a disappointment. The news headlines aren't all that powerful.

- Tropical Storm Barry Brings Much Needed Rain To Florida; great, a good samaritan.
- Rain from Tropical Storm Barry welcomed, it is nice to be welcomed, but comeon, I am a hurricane want to be.
- Storm weakens to a tropical depression, OK, that is just sad.

I am so depressed about this, I am leaving the east coast to go to the west coast.
