re: Hurricane/Tropical Storm Idalia Discussion Thread

All of that wasted on tarzana. That's a shame.

Good stuff, though.

Thanks, I couldn't let it pass.

Now back to reading you, Boat, RDS and others knowledgable to stay informed.

I hope you do regrettable things with a tattooed chick.

Are we going to die yet?

My yard could use some rain. Everything is scorched and dying. Looking like Phoenix, Arizona at this point in Louisiana. Way under yearly rainfall totals .

I don’t know man, that sounds pretty long to me.

Some areas will get a year worth of rainfall in 2 to 3 days. Stay safe if you are in that region and notify family and friends that may not be paying attention to the weather since they rarely need to do so. Could get real bad in some places and will at least be an inconvenience in most of those areas.
