Can you say mudslides? That's a tremendous amount of rain in that time period. With any movement being fairly slow I wonder how much more they will get before this gets out of their area.

Man that is a tone of rain over there and signals trouble for any place that this thing might go in the gulf coast.

Yep thats a lot of water. 1 inch of rain on 1 acre is about 28,000 gallons. So they got about 652,000 gallons per acre. Now thats an instant swimming pool.
