Erin Remnants

Woke up early this morning to see that "Tropical Storm" (for all intensive purposes) Erin has apparently undergone some intensification/increased organization across west central OK overnight, with very heavy rain/flooding and strong wind gusts problematic. In the attached image, one can clearly the remnant eye of Erin -- Wow! -- just west of the OKC metro in Canadian County -- OKC and Norman are roughly in the center of the image. A quick perusal of some obs early this morning shows we've had 4+ inches of rainfall overnight in Norman, with more to come this morning. We've had 40 mph measured gusts overnight in Norman. Farther west, there's been a number of measured 60-80 mph gusts and reports of wind damage since late last evening closer to the center of circulation, along with considerably higher rainfall amounts (see second image).
