Yeah, it didn’t look like it had gotten “too” bad compared to what some forecasts had shown (shocker, right?).

I think we got a little extra rain out of it here in North Texas.

In those places, it’s not about the power of the storm but rather how much rain is dumped uphill and how it makes it’s way back to the ocean.

My step son and his family live right in the center of the path of the hurricane just barely on the west side of the eye. He said the kids went out to play in the rain and he spent time smoking some chicken on the grill. They never lost power or had any issues.

Best side of a hurricane to be on.  Most people do not realize how much difference that makes when one of these rolls through.
