Pray that some of our rain heads your way. If not soon, you know that
you'll get plenty in July. I can remember each July at Camp Sequoyah,
down the road a piece from you, it rained cats and dogs, everey July,
every year I was Camp Director there - 70-73.

need a flood.. Chuck

If you've been keeping up with Texas weather, you know it's a mess.
14" + of rain in the Killeen area about 45 miles SW of me in the last
48 hours. Basically, all of central Texas is under flood warnings.
We've had 5" + of rain here at my house since Thursday. Gov. Perry
has called out the National Guard in San Antonio, Austin, and Waco
because of flooding. Killeen has Fort Hood troops helping them. I'm
on high ground as is most of Woodway, TX, where I live, but downtown
Waco along the Brazos River is beginning to have problems. The last
big flood we had was in Dec-Jan 90, 91, when Lake Waco rose 33 feet.
5 people have already died because of the flooding and one is lost,
presumed drowned. So far all of my family is safe. I was planning on
taking my bass boat out today and doing some serious bass fishing,
now that the lake had settled from the last deluge a couple of weeks
ago. But with the continuous rain and runoff, it'll probably be
another month before I can get into one of the ramps. Lake Waco has
already risen about 3 feet and is expected to rise another 10 + feet
in the next two days. All the debris that is washing down from the
three rivers that feed the lake makes for very dangerous boating,
what with the sunken logs, limbs, etc. some of which will float just
under the surface and can rip the lower unit off an outboard.
I'll return with the Quote for the Day and Joke for the Day next
Tuesday after Memorial Day.
