Sloppy Day Thanks to Barry: Rain and Tornados

We had a fairly calm night here following Hurricane Barry, which has now been downgraded back down to a tropical storm, with just a steady but moderate rain overnight.
However, we woke up to multiple tornado warnings and watches in both Louisiana and Mississippi. Our latest in Mississippi just expired but we will have another one soon.
The blessing in this storm is that the rainfall has not been what was predicted. This was a major concern with the Mississippi River and other local rivers being at flood stage already. Let's hope and pray that the rainfall today and tonight stays on the light to the moderate stage and will not cause any major flooding.
I hope you are all having better weather today than we are.

I'm happy to hear the rain was not as bad as they had predicted. But still, any rain you get is not helping the situation with the saturated ground and swollen rivers. But any bit of good news is good news nonetheless.

@kareng Yeah, I was thinking about that. It's just going to keep adding to the misery as it travels north. Sadly, all that water is going to eventually make it's way back down to you.

Hopefully, everything stays calm and not much disaster happens. It is hot and dry here, there are sometimes clouds but they have nothing in them.

Here in our major cities especially where water dams are located, the residents are praying for more rains to fill the dams to its level enough to supply the water needs of the people.

That's a silver lining in a cloud. I hope it does not get so bad. We have a mostly sunny day with some clouds.

We are supposed to have thunderstorms tonight and rain all day tomorrow. Today was light, or at least here today. We did have a few rounds of heavy rain but it did not last long. I love the cool weather, I just wish I could be outside in the sun to enjoy it. The high was 74 today.

Hope things don't get worse there with Barry and the rain stays on the lighter side.
We have a beautiful sunny day here which makes me feel guilty for saying it
