ALABAMA
A moderate to heavy thunderstorm continues to move east near I-20 in East Alabama. At 12:30 pm, it was over the north edge of Talladega County near Lincoln. Moving east toward Anniston-Oxford. May have weakened just a bit. Other lighter ones back into Central St. Clair County. Scattered lighter showers developing to the west across Lamar, Fayette and Walker County. Everything moving east. Everybody rooting for rain. Vic Bell, ABC 33/40 weather watcher in Black Creek (NE Etowah County) reports only 1.67 inches in the last 40 days. That is not nearly enough for growing season. Especially since 1.18 inches of that amount fell on one day about 17 days ago.

Scott, in Ocean Springs, reports first rain in almost a month.
SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA
Over 6 inches of rain in Lake Charles this morning.

The flash-flooding there today is major. Some folks on apartment rooftops awaiting rescue--a flash-back to Katrina and New Orleans. As much as 11 inches of rain today in just a few hours just SE of Houston.
NORTHERN ARIZONA
Raging fires in scenic Oak Creek Canyon south of Flagstaff. Major.
WAY FAR AWAY
