This is the 3rd time Frederick has had 5"+ rainstorm since 2015. The other 2 were.

Here's a shot of the flood control system doing a pretty good job keeping up with the runoff and limiting the scope of the damage.
Looks kind of lopsided. Probably good for heavy rains and a couple of weak tornadoes. Not good considering how much rain they've had in the MS Valley. TS Lee 2011 comes to mind as an analog. This seems to be moving a little faster though.
Interesting how this Tornado outbreak seemed to skip over Louisiana and the 2-7pm window when a lot of Tornados usually occur. Most of the activity was in the morning or overnight.
You'd think after the big tornado they had in Vicksburg in 1953 they'd have better building codes, but a lot of the houses I saw there are either very old, poorly constructed, or both.
