Noted also is a second storm in approximately the same region where Norbert began. The second storm is considered to be a Tropical Storm by the national weather service who originally stated Norbert would be going out to sea. The name assigned to this storm is Odile. The name's definition means 'female.' How touching. I am sure there are many lovely Odiles in the world. The name's orgin is French.

Norbert achieved Cat 4 status on the eighth of October. That means this storm has great potential for pushing a large storm surge. While some of the water in front of the storm will diminish in capacity due to its fall in velocity to a Cat 2 storm, not all of it will be reduced as the 'capacity' to maximize its potential has already been reached. The landfall of the storm will be met with higher than average flood potential into any rivers and streams in its path.
