That's what I'm afraid of.. My wife told me the other day "You better fish
now everyday you can, cause it won't last".. I think she's right. Yeah, I
just live about 5 miles from Camp Sequoya. My boys went to camp there a year
or two. They loved it.. Chuck

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.

inches as we are 13+ inches behind yr to date, but we don't 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.
