Showers and a few heavy storms will occur across the Florida Peninsula, Louisiana and coastal Texas, due to a stalled front. A reinforcing push of cool air will invade the Great Lakes and Northeast. The air can bring a killing frost and freeze to the coldest interior locations at night. As Odile moves inland and unwinds over the Southwest states, torrential rain will fall in spots and flooding will occur.

Peoplelined up in bumper-to-bumper traffic and scooped sand into trash and canvas tote bags Wednesday as rain from a weakened Pacific storm began to fall on Ar- izona. It's the second blast of hurricane-related weather to hit the desert region in the past two weeks — the result of an especially ac- tive Pacific storm season. Odile was once a Cate- gory 3 Hurricane, but was downgraded to a tropical depression by the time rain started falling in Arizona. Storm activity is ex- pected to pick up during the day, and the forecast called for Tucson to get slammed with up to 5 inches. Phoenix was expected to get soaked but with lesser amounts. Fearful of widespread flooding, people across Ari- zona rushed to fill sandbags to fortify their homes. Traf- fic backed up at two parks in Tucson where they were being given out. The mayor of the border city of Nogales used his pickup truck to de- liver sandbags to residents. More than 40 people with bags and shovels huddled around a pile of sand as a steady rain fell at Reid Park. The pile dissipated in just minutes. It was the third pile since the makeshift sandbag station opened at 8 a.m. in the parking lot, said Cat Beddard, a Tucson Parks & Recreation employee. Gr iselda Valenzu- ela showed up with her 1 ½-year-old son and hoped to get 10 bags. "I don't want the house flooding and my son walking around," Va- lenzuela said. Odile tore through the Mexican resort state of Baja California Sur late Sunday and Monday, where resi- dents were still struggling Wednesday with a lack of power and drinking water. There were scattered re- ports of looting, and the Los Cabos airport was closed to commercial travel. About 70 miles south of Tucson, officials in Nogales have spent the past week preparing for storms. No- gales is downhill of Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, meaning rain water from the Mexi- can side doesn't take long to seep into the city's washes. "This happens to us every year. We don't need a hurri- cane for us to get flooded," Mayor Arturo Garino said. "This time we're being very, very proactive." TROPICAL STORM Arizona gets rain from Odile THEASSOCIATEDPRESS A skunk with its head stuck in a beer can is seen near a fraternity house at Miami (Ohio) University. the associated press OXFORD, OHIO A skunk with a beer can stuck on its head had to be rescued near a fraternity house in southwestern Ohio. Oxford police said a resident called them about the skunk's predic- ament on Sunday. Police found the animal bang- ing around trying to get the can off and running into shrubs. Skunks are known for the offensive spray they can emit when threat- ened. But Sgt. Jon Varley says an animal control of- ficer was able to free the skunk without getting sprayed The animal was then re- leased. Varley says police in the city about an hour's drive northwest of Cincinnati have received calls before about skunks and other wild animals. But he says this was the first one he knew of that had to be res- cued from a beer can.
