The Storms Have Passed!

Well, bloggers let me tell you that I believe the worst is over for now! Yes, what was looking like some severe storms in this line did indeed head south of Fountain, county. All we are looking at in the WLFI viewing area is some thundershowers. Nothing severe! Lafayette, has already picked up 3" inches of rain from that first dangerous cell and it's still coming down here! This has been a crazy tracking night that's for sure. Take a look at the radar indicated total rainfall in this map below.You can see the Lafayette, area Doppler is indicating the 3" inch range which seems to be spot on with what I've recorded as of 7:00pm EDT which is when this image above was taken! Three inches in the WLFI viewing area has been recorded in the Pick. The red is the 1" to 2" inch range. And the peach color is the 0.50" to 1" inch range. And remember in some areas we will see a little more then this as it's still raining! This is why some flooding is a threat! We still have flood warnings in effect for some of the WLFI viewing area until 1:00am EDT tonight. Here's the warning posted below.
