Last I heard it is spinning in the gulf and is expected to drop 3-4 feet of rain over Corpus Christi Texas.

Not sure of the consequences of that. Maybe the city can handle heavy dumps of rain like that?

I can't believe they work it with SO much rain . Last time sooo many catastrophes with floodings , big fires and still more....  Also now in Switzerland !  Its really coming now beat on beat and cost so many millions € or more.  I'm not sure could endure that more times, the poor humans?
