Yeah, but fairly low intensity and wind speed.

Mostly, it looks like the job of this storm is put the shorts in place in the grain markets. Not because the rain is going to really do any good for the crops at this point, but because, as we all know, thanks to the markets being de-facto manipulated by the Central Banks, all prices are set by morons.
you in the line of fire here?

Yep. This is the first year my father has gone the route of leasing the land instead of trying to profit off of the yield. Looks like he made the better choice.

BTW, one of the best sites to get one-click info on all the view of these storms is wunderground dot com. Up at the top of their home page they have a list of all the active tropical storms, and for each one all the imagery, forecasts, discussion, blog, history of similar storms, et. al.

The founder of the site used to fly in the hurricane hunters, until he nearly died doing it, and quit, but he loves 'em.

In my mind, it's the only area to live in in Texas. All the rest of the state is, well, full of Texans.
