Going to hit land tonight, but this is going to be a huge rainmaker that they do not need, especially if it stalls out!!

This is a real surprise storm for all the wind and rain it's expected to bring.

The Texas and Louisiana coasts sure don't need any more rain, but much of Alabama is desperate for it.

Let's hopethis one moves quickly through TX and LA (Get a move on, Humberto!) and then has a nice leisurely stroll through Alabama.
