Maybe it will stay west of you!!!! I hope so! I just stood on my back porch and I hear running water close by...I mean like a huge torrent of it. There is a little creek over about 1/2 mile...I bet it's not a little creek right now. I'm not going out to check. I live up a mountain a little way, so I'm not worried about being flooded out. I'd hate to be in the path of a flash flood down the side of the mountain, though. It's never happened that I know of here. Rain looks like it's tapering off now.

I'm not worried about flooding for me pesonally, the bank on the otherside of the creek that runs along the north edge of my property is lower than on my side, and the house is on a bit of slope up from the creek.

It's the roads that concern me, many of them flood very quickly and even though we haven't had any rain in more than a week, many of the ditches and culverts are still full because there is no place for the water to go. As little as 2 inches of rain in a short period of time will close roads.
