 Looks like we might get some rain from Barry.

All the weather forcaster I have heard talking about it does sound like middle to west Tennessee is going to get rain from Barry. Most of them are talking 3 to 5 inches in the areas they mentioned and they said some flash flooding may be a chance in some areas. Louisiana may be in some serious trouble with the Mississippi River already at flood stage and the storm ahs not even hit yet. Gonna be a good test on those new levies they built after Katrina.

I wondered how long this would take 

 

Tropical Storm Barry could cause a gas price spike

Gas jumped $.10/gal between 8:30a and 3:30p today in Lenoir City at the Wiegles on 95, just off exit 81.

Now we’ll start seeing the “Everybody better go fill up your tanks and every can you have” posts which will only add to the problem.

Been raining here all day. Mostly just a light drizzle. The heavy stuff is expected Tuesday. Flash flood warnings until Tuesday night. 80-90% chance of rain for the next three days. Looks like the worst of it went farther west than they thought. 

I guess I won't be going outside to play for a while.

That ain't nothin, gas jumped $.20/gal in 3 hours at Speedway in Cookeville  7-2-19.

 

As for the levee's they shouldn't be needed because anyone with half a brain wouldn't have built a city on cotton bales in the middle of the danged swamp, several feet below sea level. DUH!!! Marquis De LaFayette didn't listen to his engineer.
