Glad it didn't hit the East Coast. We'd be hearing about Super Tropical Storm Bill for the next five years.

According to the TV weather guys up here, it's coming up the I-35 corridor we are gonna get between 3" & 5". Arlington public works dept. is handing out filled sandbags to residents living in low lying areas. Ft. Worth & Dallas doing similar things.

Just hit La Grange hard about 1 1/@ hours ago. Lots of rain. Can't see the dam spillway at night from the house and I'm not gonna walk down there at night. I'll just have to rely on my neighbor Cooter to tell me how high the water gets. His house is about 40 feet from the pond.
Yes I have a neighbor named Cooter.

Be sure to check in with us pls. We're gonna get hit with what hit you in abt. 5-6 hrs, imo.
Stay dry!
P.S. I had cooties living next to me some years back, but not Cooter.

Been raining most of the night here. Guess we can look forward to that all day.

The world didn't wash away like the 24 hour weather channels were predicting. Looks like the Colorado river is behaving too.
Pet peeve of mine is the weather people standing on the waterfront when a storm hits warning about how stupid it is to get near the waterfront during a storm.

It just bugs me that the blow out of proportion Sandy. If only they had been around for Ike, Ivan, Rita, or Katrina, it's like they think what happened with Sandy was so much worse, it kinda irritates me. Just because it was wide, and is known as the largest diameter Atlantic Hurricane doesn't mean much. Of course it is the second most costliest hurricane ever, it has been almost ten years since Katrina, and around 7 years after Ike, inflation and insurance deductibles have sky rocketed since somebody took over in 2008.
Hurricane Katrina claimed nearly 10 times more lives as hurricane sandy, life is more important than property any day of the week.
