Thanks for the Louisiana emergency info. The rain forecast is surely ominous

I follow the forecasts from the Hydrometerological Forecast Center closely, as my office is near a river which is prone to flood. I have never seen 24" plus of rain forecast on one of their maps before. If this forecast verifies, it will cause Katrina-like damage in New Orleans.

Wow...what a swath of 15 inch rain. I guess NOLA pumps will hold up, but the burbs are really gonna get hammered. According to the graphic my little spot in Texas is only going to get about an inch. That’s disppointiong. Maybe the storm will inch a little farther west.

I am gonna have a cloudy day! WOO-HOOO!

Another two inches of rain over the next week is unlikely to do Vermont much good either.

Wishes for this depression to head for Dallas, it would probably help the fire situation in the area.

We had that kind of rain when Ike came up the Mississippi and hit like, well, a hurricane. The system here couldn't handle it.

Everybody is unbelievably dry this year. I know it's bad in Texas, but it's bad everywhere. This storm could be a real boon for everyone.

Looks like my Southern Alabama is going to get just enough...

Blam, you’re down South of Mobile—better get the canoe out, just in case!
