News Tropical Storm incoming - stow your stowables

[FeuerFrei]

Tropical Storm Imelda is storming ashore along the Texas coast today. OMG. Wot a humdinger. Everybody hunker down. 🙄😛 I'm stocked up on Capri Suns so I should be f-ok. I should be within the cone of influence in a day or two.
Is it a tropical depression yet?

Gol dang it! I'm flying through Dallas on Friday. Hopefully the airport won't be full of wet, smelly people.

The two weeks of fall+winter are still months away. I'm pretty certain you're SOL, regardless of any storms that may come through.

North east coast here, takes out the stow tables and picnic blankets.

So low key. I just now found it was lurking close by.

Bring an extra towel! Don't want to sit in a wet spot.

Put those away, sir. Show some solidarity with your fellow Americans.

I thought you guys were angling to become your own republic?

Up to 4in at my house so far



The grocery store wasn’t busy at all. Neither was the gas station for the time of day.

I’d say this one snuck up on us.

I hope Alabama is prepared!

Up to almost 6in of rain now

Got some rain last night (up on the NW side near Willowbrook) but nothing too bad. Roadways and drainage creeks look fine. Office & gym are a bit further south but seem to be fine. Most of the rain is staying down towards the SE and NE although that's supposed to change a bit this afternoon.

Lorena and Mario both have some chance of sending rain my way, will have to wait and see. We could use it.

I'm flying to Dallas tomorrow! FU$#!

 

[Paratus]

6.33 inches yesterday and 2.88 today for a total so far of 9.21. Some of the larger creeks are out of their banks but I45 is supposedly still passable.

I’m teleworking today.
