We all hope for this soggy scenario in the summer. Tropical moisture without the damage. Bad thing is, LA and MS have seen localized flooding that has been reeking havoc across the Deep South. Flooding is one of the main weather disasters that take life. Inland flooding is also very important. I always here people say they don't need to to worry because they do not live on the coast...that concerns me. Here is some info to hopefully swap that frame of mind.
"In the 1970s, '80s, and '90s, inland flooding was responsible for more than half of the deaths associated with tropical cyclones in the United States."
