Tornado Alley (PROG)

[F6]

hookrider -- I believe the very heaviest rainfall totals are expected to remain to your south -- with the center coming just a little ways inland and then just stalling/drifting roughly toward the Houston area for a couple of days -- and then possibly going back out over the Gulf southeast of there -- . . .

of course, please do be prepared for a worst-case -- as I have no doubt you will

the latest satellite images should make anyone itchy -- that just-now-showing apparent very tight and just about perfectly symmetrical eye -- if that verifies/continues to show going forward, possibly Cat 4, or even 5, by/going into landfall? -- atmosphere and sea surface temps are optimal; classic rapid intensification process evidently underway -- via http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/floaters/09L/09L_floater.html :
