I think we are getting rain from a different system -- not the tropical storm although we are expected to get rain from that storm too in a day or so.

They are warning of rip currents -- (All tourists out of the water)
What is a rip current?
Quote:
Moving at speeds of up to eight feet per second, rip currents can move faster than an Olympic swimmer.
Panicked swimmers often try to counter a rip current by swimming straight back to shore . . .
We are also under a flood warning.

A Flood Warning is issued when the hazardous weather event is imminent or already happening.
