Texas Rain

[Mitch]

Tbird (Dave), or any of our Texas members,
Have you been getting a lot of rain ??? I hope everyone is safe!

Up to 40 inches before it's done :-(
From what I've been following, Houston is really getting hit hard.

I have never seen flooding like what is going on in Texas, Houston flooding is unprecedented and not even half the 50 inches predicted has fallen yet. I wasn't here in 93 during the floods so I can't compare but the amount of lives displaced is unbelievable for me in Texas. Hard to not think about those people...............

I just can not imagine, all that rain. I suppose if someone were to build a new house today it would beehoove you to figure the worst that could happen to you and plan that way.

We've been watching it on Fox News and The Weather Channel. Wow.

Had contact with TBird? Anyone down Texas way?

Tbird is good, he is north, but the rest is a travesty so sad

I have an asshole 1st cousin that lives down by Corpis Christi somewhere, at least he was a mother of all asshole 1st cousins growing up.....doubt if he has changed.

I have a first cousin that most didn't like, long hair, did say thanks for tuning up his car on a sunday just stopped by and said hope i can make it home, didn't help or learn.
Well his long hair he grows for locks of love, he was left to care for his mom,dad, younger brother, all needed special help. Now he's down right good man, later in life!

Our cousin Brad was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, the rest of his cousins weren't so lucky, we all worked our arses off and paid for everything ourselves. If his house is under water, I'm sure he moved out before hand and is now monitoring the situation in one of his other two homes he vacations in. No one keeps in touch with him much at all.

BTW, he was infantry during the Vietnam era in Alaska, he was fine being an 11B infantryman until he was levied to go to Nam, all of a sudden he had flat feet and was re-assigned. The rest of us (5) weren't so lucky.

My cousin wanted to inlist but was declined because of a broken leg as a kid they couldn't tell which leg because of my country doctor was very good. Doc had a bad leg and he said his patient would not be like him.
A tree rolled on 5 of us kids playing in a creek bed pinning all but me, I ran back to get help, my dad, uncle, and grandpa got everyone out, only one hurt with compound leg break

One tragedy after another................this I believe is the biggest natural disaster that I've seen. None other comes to mind.
