Hang in there! When tropical storm Allison came though Houston in 2001 it dropped like 40 inches of rain and caused more havoc than most hurricanes do here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_Storm_Allison
But it helped us find every drainage problem in the area! Thankfully we're not getting any of the big storm effects from Hermine, just catching one band of rain after another coming off the gulf for a couple days. But at least it's not so hot!
