Hurricane/tropical storm Alex was a category 2 hurricane. I experienced some of this first hand as I live along the Gulf Coast in South Texas. Although, I wasn't in the area that the hurricane hit directly (that was Northern Mexico), I did experience some of the effects that come along with such storms. It brought all the typical affair associated with hurricanes, such as heavy wind, heavy rain, thunderstorms, and threats of flooding and tornadoes. However, it didn't really seem that bad. In fact, besides the few disadvantages of the hurricane, there were also some advantages. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise?...check it out

The oil clean-up in the Gulf has been delayed by Hurricane Alex, but the storm may have helped dissipate some oil.

hurricane alex left a load of seaweed on the beaches but also became like a cleansing of the ocean as it also brought up a lot of junk that was in the ocean from people such as flip flops, styrofoam, frisbees, bottle caps, cigarette lighters, etc. etc.
