|
|
Epic backyard flooding. Our pool pump is running continuously...and not keeping up, the water is now 3-4"over the height of the pool and less the an inch below the back door! George is trying to make it over with a pump. I will be looking for a reputable drainage contractor...any suggestions on that front?
Report has OSO Creek cresting at 27+ feet later today.... |

| Kingz got over w/ a second pump, and the proverbial tide is turned...for now. Pool is now down well below the capstone. We were about a quarter inch below the threshold of the door at one point. Radar still looks sucky! |

It's just starting to hit Boerne. But you guys down there are really getting hammered. Keep dry if you can. Hope all is well with everyone. _________________ Diplomacy is the art of saying "Nice doggie" until you can find a rock.

| OSO Parkway is now closed with water all the way across and into yards. Water is just below, and flowing fast at the bridge going towards the nature center on Staples. |

we got in the ferry line at 1201 today and it started pouring. yall heard the one about the cow and a flat rock? it was like that. could only manage 25-30 mph between PA and AP. finally let up between CC and Mathis. cotton and milo fields were standing a foot deep. ditches running full, too.
heard a report of nearly 9 in. around CC. _________________ the creepy uncle that scares the kids.... |
