I've read some horror stories about Camille in the mountains.

I don't live in the mountains, in fact if I jump I'm about the highest point in this area, it's that flat. I have no clue where the weather we are currently getting is coming from, but we've had nearly 1.5 inches of rain since 8am and our ground has been so waterlogged from so much rain this summer we can't handle any aftermath of ivan - let alone anything else that might come this way.

sheesh....I never thought I would say this - but I would actually prefer snow right now.

Flat is good in flooding situations, I think.
That's the way it is here in the Miami area.
Still, if you get heavy rains, there will be places where it will collect and flow dangerously and become surprisingly deep, so please be very careful.

Hi, Gabz. Yes, snow is MUCH more preferable to 'canes. I've been through both blizzards and hurricanes and I'd *definitely* choose blizzards any day.

I woke this morning and half my lake was gone. They are pulling water down out of the lakes up here in N.E. Alabama big time. NOT GOOD. Think they're expecting some rain out of this? :o}

Right now, Camille is forecasted to stall to the south and west of Virginia. Pray that it stays that way.
