Are you getting ready for Tropical Storm Edouard?

I'm hoping we get some much needed rain out of this storm.

Hope everyone stays safe.

It looks like we'll be in the clear here in the middle coastal area, according to the projected path. We are just inside the tropical storm warning area. We sure are in need of rain so I'm hoping we'll get some off of it over the next couple of days. Everyone up around the upper coastal area even though it's a small storm put away your outdoor fly-aways and stay safe!

I am so ready for the rain it will bring - hopefully! If it stays on the projected path, we should gets some of the rainfall by Wednesday. Our area is in a drought, so we need the rain!!

Watching the weather, it looks like we'll only get a little bit of rain. It should be mostly to the north of us. These storms can be unpredictable. Stay safe all you guys along the coast.

Texasgirl, send that rain on up this way! We need it. They are saying it will not get here until tomorrow. UGH! At least the temps are not in the 100's today.

We are in Arlington and could desparately use the rain! Our yard is so dry, I'm afraid I'm going to lose a child in the big cracks in the dirt.

I hope everyone that needs the rain gets some.
We have ended up with just under 1".
Every little bit helps.
My folks have gotten 7/10th of a inch. They had any rain since the first of June.

Around 5-6pm, we had some light rain on and off. It is a lot cooler, so that is a blessing. Nothing major going on here with Eduard.

We're keeping our fingers crossed for a little rain out of it, up here in the panhandle. Hope everyone living near the coast is ok.
