Watching this one with great interest. See the end of the cone on this one? Well, another time when Central Texas with a low Lake Travis, needed rain, we got a deluge of rain from a hurricane that came inland very much on the same path as Hurricane Rick.

Seemingly, the rains came from nowhere --- took lots of folks cranking on wrenches on marina docks to keep up with the rise of the lake that night.

The rains came -- from a little watched, Pacific hurricane that brought bands of rain capable of raising a lake with 65 miles of shoreline, a foot an hour.

This time, Central Texas is watching this one. That same Lake Travis is only 40% full -- it supplies water to millions of folks.

#2 fwiw,

The Global Forecast System Model for friday morning is for a rainstorm to be over southwest Texas at that time.

Hurricane Rick is currently a cat 5 and expected to make landfall in Mexico sometime Wed or Thurs as a strong tropical storm or hurricane
