TROPICAL STORM ERIN

When it rains it pours and when it's dry it's a desert!

Just a few days ago you could hear the crickets chirping, and now Flossie, Dean and Erin. That's how it seems to go sometimes, all or nothing at all. We may be thanking Erin for our first bout of rain this Saturday. Hopefully our withered lawns and dried up soil will let a little water sink in. Baked ground isn't the most porous, that's why flash flood issues arise whenever more than a few inches of rain fall in a short amount of time in desert regions. At this point, it’s looking like a lot of moisture will be moving inland courtesy of Erin. Parts of Texas may see a foot. There has been agreement that some of this will curve around and pass through our area. From then onwards eyes will be on what Dean does. A few long-range tracks take the storm dangerously close to New Orleans. We shall see.
