Wouldn’t shock me to see some areas reach 12-15” before this rain train fizzles out. The small zone from Gorman to Tennessee City has been getting hammered all morning long.

It is really bad here. 12+ inches and still pouring.  We are fine and do not live in a flood prone area.  Water mains have busted and power is out in many places.  Saying more rain this afternoon.  This is August????  ::wow::

Looks like the area around McEwen has maxed out the scale on dual pol storm total rainfall. Over 17”. That’s insane.

Very similar to the flooding we saw in Mississippi back in June.
