It is now a category 4 and hitting the coast. Does anybody know anyone In harm' s way? I talked to a guy from Texas today who I hadn't seen in 20 years and his house is in the danger zone. When he left a few days ago nobody knew it was coming. For its size this thing grew from nothing really fast. 

Nope, I'm lucky this time, although I remember when I was in Louisiana when H-Andrew hit...I was the brunt of many jokes. Worse, my daughter was in Mobile AL when Katrina hit, and even though the worst was in N Orleans, they got plenty of frightening damage where they were. 

After it hit landfall it quickly diminished to a category 1 but now it might park itself for awhile. Some places could get 3 feet of rain.

I'm in middle Tennessee and when stuff this bad happens, even though it's a few states over, we still get bad weather too!

It's hard to believe but this monster is just getting worse and worse. Most of these things are gone in a day or two but not this beast.
