three. we're only about six miles per hour away from that right now. it doesn't have to intensify all that much. then it will weaken once it crosses over land and sit there for days. that's the problem. the other problem is gradually that forward speed will start to slow down. when that speed slows down, the amount of rain projection starts to go up and it doesn't rapidly. we are not talking about three, four inches widespread here. we're talking widespread, of at least one foot of rain. but there will be many spots, this purple color and the white that you can see here, we're talking 20, 30, and it's not even out of the question to get 40 inches of rain. keep in mind, a city like houston averages 50 inches of rain per year. we could easily pick up half of that in just a couple days. the other threat is the potential for tornadoes as well as damaging winds. >> joining us is reid tim her, a storm chaser for accuweather
