Thanks. We just bought our house here in December and it's in a 100 yr flood plane/plain whatever. When it rains hard we get alot of standing water, so I'm most concerned about the potential for heavy rain coming our way. I'd like to prepare if that's going to be a possibility.
I've never been in a flood either. Last year y'all scared me with the displaced snakes and floating balls of fire ants story!

Keep an eye on this map over the coming days:

As long as you see clockwise rotation centered over the GOM, the storm is going to have a heck of a time getting to TX.
That said, I still think the model tracks will come north a bit in coming days.
