[edit] Semiarid?

According to the chart, Port A gets avg 32 inches of rain per year. That qualifies as semiarid? The semiarid article states 10-20 inches per year. The entire Texas Gulf Coast from Port Arthur to Brownsville is most accurately described as "humid subtropical." --stonetlee 3/29/2008 13:20 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.245.68.187 (talk) 18:20, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] History section

The history section is WAY too long. It needs to be shortened or have its own article, but there is absolutely no need for such length and detail in this article. Frecklegirl (talk) 07:12, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nickname

Being a native Texan I have heard Port Aransas referred to by the nickname "Port A." Anyone else hear this before? --ProdigySportsman (talk) 17:18, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it seems to be a fairly common nickname, at least in central/south Texas. -Nv8200p talk 03:39, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
