Cristobal coming, 'Hunters' fly inside

Tropical storm and storm surge watches are expected for much of the Gulf Coast as Tropical Storm Cristobal is likely to strengthen before the weekend. Advisories could be issued as early as Friday, according to the National Hurricane Center. The slow-moving storm is bringing heavy rains to Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula with “deadly flooding” and mudslides. The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for much of coastal Louisiana and Mississippi, and could extend as far east as the Big Bend of Florida.
