There is the latest from AWC. The city up here is expecting 20" of rain or more. I am in the northeast corner of Texas, just south and 60 miles west of the Louisiana border. They say it's going to curl right up here, but we'll see.
How are you fairing Jszar? It shouldn't be too bad for you. I think you'll just have to watch out for falling/fallen trees. There are so many fallen here. It's weird though, it's only old, large trees, nothing young and small.
The heart of it is riding no more than 20 miles east of my town, so we are just missing the center of it. It's pouring in Marshall Texas, the center of the storm is going right between Longview and Marshall. We've had about 4 or so inches of rain since 5am this morning when it started raining, it's only getting worse right now. Power comes and goes all over town. The internet just came back on, but it's likely to go out again. I dont have too much footage of it, just a few minutes worth. I haven't seen anything drastic yet besides some trees and a lot of debris.
it was gusting to 50knts yesterday at one point. but it died out last night.
Katrinda asked Rita, "I handled my own, what the hell happend to you?" Rita replied, "Yeah, but I had the shits running though!" .....a little joke I heard at work last night.
It ended up being just a windy rain storm, no lightning or anything. It kept getting worse yesterday, then it just suddenly died around midnight. It turned from heavy rain into mist, and from mist to sunshine. It was a bright sunny day when I woke up this morning. All we ended up losing was power around the city, a bunch of trees, and some flooded roads.
