- Tropical Storm Otto dumps rain
By Andre Sharpe <andresharpe1 at gmail.com>
Date: Wed, 6 Oct 2010 22:59:31 -0400

It is raining torrentially at this point. The thunderstorms have subsided a bit, however, the rain is very steady. Many roads are flooded and driving is quite the task. At this rate there could be some degree of flood water damage.

Please stay safe my friend. Get to higher ground if you are in danger. I have seen water approach my door when I lived on the west end of Galveston Island in Texas and it is very frightening I know. Things can be replaced but you can't. Please check back in when this is over. THIS TOO SHALL PASS.
