Have my fingers crossed that it won't get too bad. The last flood around Memorial Day was when my grandchild was born, I made it to the hospital to be with them but there was a LOT of water on the way.

The ground is soaked now which means it will flood all the easier. Everyone around Houston stay as dry and safe as possible.

I hope this keeps moving, then peters out. The Midwest is still getting buckets of rain from these 'depressions' too!

Even if some of you don't suffer directly from these events...I just paid over ten dollars a pound for a steak.

Here in central Illinois, my rain gauge (I have to keep emptying it) has shown a total of 6.5 inches from last Sunday noon until yesterday noon. Forecast shows rain every day for the next week!!

The missus says that I'm "all wet!"

Several more or less regular shots of rain in this area, recently (and more forecast) - should have persisted in seeding the other day when it was temporarily dry enough, as it's getting late for first seeding and I have a few varieties yet to put into ground.

The other day while walking from the parking lot to the grocery in the rain, I said to a fellow walker that if he walked around out here for a while, his friends'd accuse him of being "all wet" ...

... and he replied that his friends had been accusing him of that for years.

Well??? It looks like it's not forming an eye. It seems like a mess that it's falling apart. I hope it keeps on falling apart and move on quickly too. The Galveston area will be hit hardest but we should be alright on this part of Houston Raven, .... hopefully.

thanks raven and ntt...you're my go to for weather for the woodlands and dallas...

Yup, north of you, Oklahoma, is also saturated, and I don't want to say... but really, we have enough rain right now.

But, like always, I will take what they dish out... but it is more and more apparent I need a new roof on my garage.

Gasp! We have a *sunny day* today! The rest of the week looks grim, though.

The north side of our house has some stucco that is supposed to get washed Friday. First step is soaking the stucco. What irony!

Well it has been quite mild here at my house so far. Some rains yes but nothing major. My neighbor and I went to Walmart yesterday, for some supplies and groceries since we could get it all in one stop. It was sunny when we went in and pouring when we were leaving so we got a little wet.

It is coming aground farther south towards Victoria, Corpus Christi area.

We are supplied and sitting high watching the rain come down in a fairly gentle fashion. Huntsville is about an hour north of Houston. Water drains quickly when it rains here because we are supposedly the highest point between Dallas and Houston. But, if you are caught out in a heavy rain, you have to deal with flooded roads and streets. Flash flood conditions are dangerous because the water moves so fast. So, even in the short time we've lived here, I've figured out that it's safer at home than out and about during a storm.

hope you all are ok, and less rain than predicted....we sure did...

We are still getting rain as the bands come across but not in massive amounts, just off and on. Should be ending tomorrow evening I guess from what I've heard on TV. There's idiots out there surfing in the Gulf.

It's now Wednesday and same thing happening. Rain bands working their way through. Some heavy with thunder. No major flooding thankfully. Our back yard is still a lake. Hopefully this will be out of here by tomorrow.

Hoping you are all dry enough. We have been getting some of it, also, but here not bad. Had friends near Dayton and Lima, OH that got flooded. They got it a lot worse than we have. Hope your "lake" dries up soon, Raven!
