This is a satellite image of a trough of low pressure, currently located over the Gulf of Mexico, which we're told has a strong possibility of developing into a tropical cyclone that will probably hit Louisiana. They're saying it has the potential to dump a lot of rain on us, but since it's already so close it probably won't have time to strengthen too much before it comes ashore.
Don't get me wrong; I don't want any flooding or high winds or damage of any kind. But there's this nasty marsh fire that's been burning right on the outskirts of New Orleans all week. Think of how a swamp smells. Then think about how that would smell if it were burning. Yeah, pretty sickening. Literally. It's sending the old, the young, those with respiratory problems, to the emergency rooms.
So a nice hard rain would be great about now. Not too hard. No flooding. No trees crashing into houses. Just enough water falling from the sky to stop a fire that is now threatening the Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge. Please?
UPDATE: Okay, make that No Thank You! Now they're predicting 10-20 inches of rain and warning residents to clean out their gutters, park their cars on the neutral ground, avoid driving through flooded streets, etc, etc. Good grief. Hey, can't we just get a nice, solid rain? Like, you know, 1 or 2 inches? Must it always be drought or flood?

Hope your wish comes true Candy. Just a good rain to wash away the ills of the swamp fire. When ever I reads about storms, cyclones etc threatning your part of the world, one tends to think of what happened in New Orleans. Good luck.
Charles, you're lucky you live as far away as you do.
Lainey, we were in a drought, too, only nothing like Houston's.
Firefly, I just read the fire is STILL smoldering. How, I do not know. I am soooo sick of dark skies and rain. So far Lee has been just an inconvenience for us, but some homes are flooding in Mandeville, Slidell, and Jean Lafitte, among others.
Jeez, fires *and* torrential rain-- y'all are really getting the place ready for me, aren't ya? :)
