My biggest concern, of course, remains a south trend. That would rob me of some much-needed precip, while a north trend, I believe, would make everyone pretty happy.
Honestly, if I receive fewer than 10" between the 2 storms, I might consider this a bust.

It won’t end in either of our lifetimes. I’ve come to accept it as a black hole on the planet. It just keeps sucking all the energy and mass out of the region. It’s Hatfields and McCoys on steroids.
Sell tickets. You’ll at least make some cash on it.
