Joey was preceded in
death by her mother, Re-
becca Reaves and her hus-
band John Winkelmann,
who gave her tremendous
love and happiness for an
unfairly-short period of
time.
Joey had deep roots in
Baytown. Her early years
were spent in a loving
community in Lynchburg
that included her grand-
parents, Hiram and Lu-
cille Butcher, and friends
she kept for a lifetime.
She attended Lynchburg
Elementary, Deer Park
High School and Memo-
rial Baptist Church. She
made lasting friendships
at every stop. Although
she received cosmetol-
ogy training at Lee Col-
lege, Joey’s primary role
was as a housewife and
mother. Her constant and
fierce love for Tanner will
always be her greatest
legacy. She devoted her-
self to his care and was
a determined advocate
for him and other special
needs children.

Renee Robbins was
born November 17, 1953
With named stonns coming earlier and
more often in warmer waters, some as-
sumptions about the Atlantic hurricane
season are being rethought.
For six straight years, Atlantic stonns
have been named in May, before the sea-
son even begins. The National Hurricane
Center has already decided to start issuing
its routine tropical weather outlooks for
the Atlantic on May 15.
Meanwhile, the National Oceanic At-
mospheric Administration is recalculating
just what constitutes an average hurricane
season. If it follows the usual 30-year
update model, the new "normal" season
would have 19% more named stonns and
major hurricanes. And prominent hurri-
cane experts want meteorologists to re-
think how they warn people about wetter,
nastier stonns in a wanning world.
MIT hurricane researcher Kerry Eman-
uel said “this whole idea of hurricane sea-
son should be revisited.”
During the past nine Atlantic hurri-
cane seasons, seven tropical stonns have
formed between May 15 and the official
June 1 start date. Those have killed at least
20 people, causing about $200 million in
damage, according to the WMO. So the
organization will discuss an earlier start-
ing season and likely commission a study
to figure out how to adopt one.
Last year, the hurricane center issued 36
“special” tropical weather outlooks before
June 1. Tropical Stonns Arthur and Bertha
both fonned before June 1 near the Caro-
linas.
“The Atlantic hurricane season has
changed quite a few times in the past since
the concept of a hurricane season came
about,” but not since 1965, said Univer-
sity of Miami hurricane researcher Brian
McNoldy. “I don’t think there’s any harm
in including the May 15 start date.”
The early systems are generally weaker
tropical stonns, said Colorado State Uni-
versity hurricane researcher Phil Klot-
zbach. If the season begins earlier, he
worries that people will lose interest by
mid-August when hurricanes get more
frequent and nastier.
Storms seem to be fonning earlier be-
cause climate change is making the ocean
wanner. Storms need wann water as fuel
— at least 79 degrees. Also, better tech-
nology and monitoring are identifying and
naming weaker stonns that may not have
been spotted in years past, Feltgen said.
Meteorologists calculate climate aver-
ages based on 30-year periods to account
for variations in daily weather.
Over the next few weeks, the 30-year
average for Atlantic hurricanes is be-
ing recalculated by NOAA. That means
changing the benchmark for nonnal from
the 1981-2010 period to the much busier
1991-2020 period.
