Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Took my 6 year old boy for a ride in the Gator while the sun was out. I have missed having the Gator running. It has been since October that it has been down.

Anyway, with all the rains, I was able to show the boy where all the water comes from for our pond, and where it goes. We saw a snake, a large turtle, and one of those fast sand/land lizards cross a ditch full of water about 8' across, (barely made it). They are so fast on land and can barely go in the water, although it wasn't for lack of effort. I bet he had his engine wound up to 10,000 rpm. We sure could've used a daisy red rider a few times.

Not sure when tonight's storms are going to materialize, but after they got within 20 miles of the epicenter in their forecast, I'm going to believe what they say on tonight's news.


glad I live about 15-20 feet up from the high water mark.

Kyle, correct this has been a crazy 24 hours. We've had about 7" here so far and still raining. Looks like worst was east of here in Waller area, almost 20" in a couple of places. I'd love to get 20" of rain ....... over about 3-4 months.

Can you post or PM me link to the site you're getting the Colorado flow / level info from?

Thanks

Duh! I don't why I never thought about the LCRA. Thanks much Kyle!

We're high and dry here as well. The Weather Folks missed all this by 24 hours. They all bragged, this a.m, about how they'd been warning us since last Thursday but, never mentioned they said worst would be tonight, not last night!

I've tried this with our Grand Daughter and worked great for many years until middle school. We learned about birds, snakes, bugs, etc. No longer cool. She'll come around .... in about 10 years.

Indeed she will, at about that age we old ones become uncool until they get older and have a change when they realize they do not know as much as they think. Kinda funny took me until 29 to figure out my parents and grandparents knew more than I did and even tough they are gone now they still know more than I do

You fellows in Texas stay safe flooding is serious business. Off to bed I hope up to late for work day

47 right now with some light rain...high of 57 today.

We can use a bit of that Texas rain here. There's a brush fire watch in this area...just enough rain to wet things down would be OK.

It is the section between Swift run gap at MM#65 to loft mountain at mm #79. From what I can see from my house it is on the west side of the drive. Just saw on line it is now visable from space. Ed

I went through that section Friday. Hope it gets under control soon.

Good morning all. 47 here at almost 6 am going to 82. That is what they said yesterday and I saw 90 in the early evening. Hope everyone is safe down in Texas and that their homes and other things are safe too. They are calling for showers Thursday through Friday. Hope we get some. Got to mow some more today. Have a great day. Ed
