Never say never but, you guys are so close to this it looks like a bust would be less than a foot! This is really a nowcast situation at this stage....(The RUC and Radar returns.) Really hoping you guys get an epic storm with low hassles & no loss of life. I will be watching closely & rooting you on. Good luck and thoughts of safety to all of you!
