ABILENE, Texas -- Tropical Depression Hermine is moving out of the Big Country this morning after the center of the storm passed just east of Abilene, meaning the worst of the thunderstorm activity hit to the east.

One Abilene Fire Department station, the downtown station No. 1 at 250 Grape St., reported .80 inch of rain. Most of the other stations reported between .55 and .75 of an inch.
