Heavy Rain in the South

A large cold front swept through the Ohio Valley to the Mississippi Valley and parts of Eastern Texas. Rain was dumped in this area which was very helpful for Texas but not needed for Ohio and Mississippi. In a days time about 3-5 inches of rain fell in these areas. This was not good because the land was already wet which could cause flooding. Some areas that could flood were roadways, farmland, and smalls streams and creeks.

The picture on the left is from weather.com and is showing precipitation levels in that area. The storm is supposed to keep moving east and maybe turning into snow.

I found this to be a rater bleak article. Texas really needs the rain and the areas north do not. I have been blogging about these areas for the last couple months. I feel like they should be focusing on the area of Texas that received the much needed rain rather than the potential 'minor' flood areas.
