Being from the district he ran in, he is an idiot. He lost to a Dem in a runoff in a longtime conservative district, then he lost the primary for his next election cycle. 

Thank goodness, we don’t need additional folks like him being cheerleaders, bad enough this will be retweeted by someone, no need for a name reveal either

These storms are more hype then furry typically. They will be fine. The winds reported  by noaa are so high up in the atmosphere they rarely reach ground level. The surge will have minimal impact at their location.

i would leave just due to the likelihood losing electricity for an extended time.

Ugh, this is the thinking mentality of many in these areas, then they scream why aren’t you saving me and risking your life when they are trapped putting more folks in harms way.  Society has somehow been put off by inconveniences anymore, not sure why that has changed but it appears to get worse with each passing year.

At this point I will be happy with a rain shower that lasts more than a minute for the sake of my lawn.  Haven’t had anything in my part of Columbus during this whole stalled front scenario.

You worried about flooding or severe weather?

More flooding than anything as I'm not so sure about the severe weather aspect as I'm not that great reading model data, let alone trusting them this year. I think we could see a bit of both, last weekend we had our surprises and could very well see that happen again depending on how overnight convection goes. Instability and moisture will certainly be there along with the dynamics.

Well thankfully we didn't get the monsoon called for entirely today none the less some hefty rain here for a bit though so that should help with flood waters easing on the rivers. Still concerned about this weekend especially if we get training storms and a bunch of boundaries everywhere.

Forget about severe weather, TX and OK are going to be underwater by the end of next weekend. That's going to be the bigger news over the next week.

Huge concern for that, especially if we get the rain forecasted the next couple days. We couldn't get a drop not too long ago and now the faucet won't turn off and sprung a leak. The small storms this past weekend were efficient rain producers, looks like we have the same amount of moisture to work with once again.
