Some days I walk across the pastures to see the river

Ehh, not so bad, and--it helps to keep the riffraff out.

I just got a mental picture of a No Trespassing sign, WARNING!!! GUARD RATTLESNAKES ON DUTY!!

Wow - I don't envy you this week.

Hang in there Greybeard - from your neighbor south of Houston...

Hoping all of us Texicans don't float away today!

Hope it's no worse than the last time. At least it didn't make it to your home then. Hoping for the best for all you folks getting over watered.

For the first time ever, we're trapped on to the property. 3 ways out and they're all under water, but house is 5' above grade and livestock all on high ground. It has slacked off considerably, so maybe later I can get out in truck and get to town for milk, bread, coffee and some ice cream. Gonna be an interesting week fer sure.

Houston got hammered by 16" of rain. My great-niece lives in the Cypress area, has a foot of water in her house, my other great-niece, living along the Southwest Freeway, moved her car to the top of the parking garage, lives on the second floor of her apartments and the first floor is taking water. The whole city is practically shut down. My niece is not flooded, but cannot get out of her subdivision.

@frustratedearthmother I hope you are ok and may the rain be kind to you. @greybeard don't forget the brownie mix!

We're hanging in! The biggest part of it was north of us most of the night. When I went out at 5am to feed this morning, we'd only had a trace of rain despite strong winds, lightening and thunder all night. Can't say that now....we've probably had about 5 inches since 6am.

Hospital where DH works sent all 'non-essential' personnel home. Every school district around us is closed except us... geeze.

Everybody knows somebody who is flooded, or stranded or worse. This is bad.....

Prayers too all of you stranded.
