And some of the forecast models come from the Hurricane Center suggesting areas could pick up 10 to 15 inches of rainfall with the slow movement of the system through the weekend. And you heard about the reference to the mississippi river, at last check the Current River stage running nearly 17 feet and with barry coming on board, not only with the rainfall but also the storm surge, it could possibly be 3 to 5 feet and it will back up the river.
