I'm in east Arkansas and started getting rain last night (3/4" at my house) but right now it's blowing and swirling hard and raining. It will devastate the rice crops. Even before we got this much wind I saw many rice fields with flat patches from what wind we got overnight. Only good thing is - it's good for soybeans and hopefully we'll get a regrowth of grass for the cattle before winter. They're even baling rice straw here.
