Gustav Now in Arkansas

The National Weather Service puts Hurricane Gustav right over my head here in the central region of Arkansas. A look out my window confirms the clouds, rain and wind as predicted. Still, there's a Severe Weather Warning:

THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING.

RAINFALL...ASSOCIATED WITH TROPICAL SYSTEM GUSTAV...WILL CONTINUE TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA TODAY. ABUNDANT MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TROPICAL SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL...ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

BETWEEN 3 AND 5 INCHES OF RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE WATCH AREA BEFORE THE STORM SYSTEM MOVES OUT OF THE STATE LATER IN THE WEEK. DUE TO THE HEAVY RAINFALL...FLASH FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE.

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

(Abundant moisture? Copious amounts of rainfall? Flash flooding is very dangerous? Well, OK. I'm completely informed now.) Added to Wednesday is a possibility of tornadoes along with thunderstorms. It's been quite a wet year around here...
