Its just beginning
 
The GFS has consistently called for a pocket of 10” – 20” rain along the central Gulf Coast, assuming that 93L makes landfall in that vicinity. Rainfall with 93L would probably be somewhat less along the Texas coast, but still potentially very heavy, should the European track prove correct. If convection persists well east of 93L, then parts of the Florida Peninsula may also experience quite heavy rain.
 
thats what we had when we flooded down here in La

Yes but I DO NOT live in new orleans in fact where I lived in my 65 years NEVER flooded...
 
the August flood was a combination on the tropical disturbance in the GOM that dropped 20-40 inches of rain over La  in one day and rivers that could not move water fast enough, PLUS an interstate system that dammed up water and did not let it flow..

Well this just reminds me that the company thats building the house I got also recently built a site on a swamp area and all the houses got flooded when it rained. They got ordered by the council to stop building until they had working drainage. But there doesnt seem to be any complaints about the site Im hopefully getting a house on.
