I am about 25 miles South of Waco and on the Northern edge of the forecasted heavy rain. From the projections we will get a minimum of two inches and a max. of eight. Wind will not be an issue around here.

My daughter lives in Shinner, TX, and the center of the storm is near her now, but she lives on a hill and the wind is down to low Cat 1. She is safe.

The strange behavior of this storm, with the forecast loop and Eastward travel up the coast toward Houston, will really hurt the coastal plains. As John Boyd has already posted, Houston is already getting hit and the worst may be to come. I have a sister in Houston and so far she is safe, dry, and even has power.

Thanks to everyone for the kind thoughts for us Texans.
