Day 250: Hermine
The remnants of Tropical Storm Hermine, the giant comma-shape on the image above, are slowly moving northward, through Texas. This is very heavy rain, and flash flood warnings are widespread throughout Texas. This rain will move into Oklahoma tomorrow, so please be careful while driving across the state. Most likely, there will be areas where roadways do become flooded. Remember, turn around, don’t drown.
