>>training bands haven't been all that numerous there as some have said here. Somebody will get waterlogged bigtime...but it doesn't look like Houston.

They got lucky. When the main blob of convection moved into the UT Coast, there were three or four trainig lines that didn't stay with the system. The main feed is east of me. The moral is that Fay could have been disasterous if she was tapping her moisture from closer in. As it was, there are three 18-20" spots, and at least 1 20+ just offshore. Coastal TX residents should consider themselves pretty lucky.
