7 inches of rain in 24 hrs....Yikes!

When it rains it pours!

Fred and I woke up at 6am to one heck of a lightening and rain storm...The lightening was striking all around the house and I hurried up and started unplugging items. We ate breakfast and Fred decided he wanted to run to Victoria to run some errands, ekkk...

These photos were taken with the Powershot

This is a major road in Victoria...Business Hwy 59/Houston Hwy.

Hmmm buddy that looks a wee bit deep?

Wheeee...........some idiots don't know the words "Slow Down."

There were a lot more roads flooded and yes I was an idiot and drove through them. I've never been in Victoria when the streets were flooded and I had a hard time getting around. Was a bit upset with my husband about even being out in this stuff. But we made it home safe and sound.


On the way home I took a few photos...

This is the corner of FM 236 and FM 622 if you look closely to the left and middle there is a dumpster floating near a culvert.

Yea the bridge held...or most of the dirt stayed in place. We'll have a few repairs before we put concrete down but not too bad...and just think days before this was a dry creek bed.

This is Coleto Creek...now a raging river and still going up! Not sure I want to go Kayaking anytime soon...

The dry creek bed from on top of the bridge!

The driveway is now a flowing stream, ekkk.

The dry creek bed in our driveway...when we left in the morning it was over the driveway...when we got home it was flowing back through the culvert...It just amazes me what rain can do...I'm thankful we were a bit dry and the ground was not saturated as it could have been a lot worse.
