MS is getting slammed right now,flash flood warnings are being issued for east central/southeast MS right now.The line will be in Mobile soon and Pensacola later this evening.Right now there is nothing severe,but I bet there are some pretty strong wind gusts up ahead of that squall line just west of Mobile.

Looks very impressive. LA does need a good rain down. Alot of SE States are still dry and the rain totals are below normal. Lets hope come December, this El Nino will change things.

Looking at the radar downtown Mobile must be getting torrential rains right now.I hope this line holds together after it passes Mobile Bay,we could really use the rain,we've had fire weather advisories everyday now.The wind is starting to pick up outside.
