One thing about living down by the gulf is that occasionally a hurricane meanders inland to gift us with some rain. Rarely they keep spinning up into OK and dump a bunch of rain there, too; it's happened twice since '07. Finally, after a very slow start to this year's hurricane season, there's one heading our way.
After hurricanes have been on land for awhile, their west and southwest sides dry up, so we have to hope that it passes south of us (but not too far south) on its way further in, in order for us to get any rain. Tropical Storm Don might arrive early Saturday morning.

Even a Cat 5 will weaken enough by the time it gets here that the wind won't be anything unusual (to me, having grown up on the plains), so aside from avoiding driving into water if it floods, there's no danger.
