I'm in Mobile and have had driving rain, lightning and even two power losses. I think one of the bands just went through. We sure need the rain too.
Fox weather person has just about ruled out a Galveston landfall. (unless it jogs)
Focusing on NO....will it even rain in Houston? Dallas won't get any, it seems. sigh
I know what you mean about needing the rain. Except for a few sprinkles this week, we haven't had rain since Katrina. Prior to Katrina, we had a couple of days of rain every week. It's amazing to realize how much of the water that we'd normally receive was sucked into Katrina. I guess all of our rain has been sitting in the streets in New Orleans for the past few weeks.
