Major flooding is expected across Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas and Louisiana, as a slow-moving weather system packing heavy rainfalls travels over US. Strong rains could cause life-threatening conditions across the affected areas starting on October 23, 2015 and throughout the early next week.
Tropical moisture is currently gathering across the South Central US states, meteorologists report. Over the coming days the Gulf of Mexico and eastern Pacific ocean will pump the tropical air masses into the area. Approaching Hurricane “Patricia” will also contribute to the amount of moisture being pushed in and one other weather disturbance is currently also developing in the area with the potential to become tropical by the beginning of next week.

Some parts could be severely affected and residents might have to evacuate their homes until the situation stabilizes. Parts of Mississippi, Tennessee and Ohio might be affected by the rain bands by the middle of next week.
Residents across the South Central US states are advised to stay alert and keep an eye on the weather conditions as strong rainstorms are expected to bring life-threatening floods, regardless of the currently extremely dry and hard ground. Citizens are in particular warned not to drive through flooded roads, as strong currents could pull in the vehicles and cause a fatal outcome, which has been frequently known to happen during flood events.
Is this normal weather, I don’t think so. Has this been geo engineered? We have had chemtrails for about a week now.
Katie, it appears that these storms are man made. Watch this interesting video, especially starting at 11 minutes where the author speaks of the Wall Street agenda and hurricane weather futures!
