We’re on the the west side of the track. Don’t think it’s going to be that bad.

You won't get any storm surge and winds won't be a bad as on the coast, but rainfall is a major concern with a land falling hurricane, along with tornadoes .
Seven years ago we got the remnant moisture from a hurricane that came up the west coast of Mexico, I got 9 inches of rain in eleven hours . :drowning:
Our average yearly rainfall is 6 inches .
Today we're looking at another hurricane, just downgraded to a tropical storm heading up the western coast of Mexico, taking aim at the southwestern US again .

Shouldn’t be as bad as when Laura came through here last year. We were with out power for 5 days.
