Lofty FYI from the weather service:
SINCE RITA IS FORECAST TO SLOW DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY AFTER MAKING LANDFALL...TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS IN EXCESS OF 25 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS ACROSS EASTERN TEXAS INTO WESTERN LOUISIANA.
Dallas may be a little west of this but there could be at least maybe a few sprinkles in your forecast.
BTW, I don't speak-a z doitch 🙂
