Tropical storm Christobal (very sophisticated), which formed on saturday, is said to be gaining strength, and moving northeast at around 7mph, towards South Carolina.
However, it is forecast to remain a tropical storm, and according to meteorologists, the worst that can be expected are some heavy showers: it is predicted to rain in excess 5 inches along stretches of the North Carolina coast.
So rather than bringing desruction, friendly young Christobal could simply bring some welcome moisture to the parched lands of eastern North Carolina, which is suffering a "moderate drought".
