We're Having a Flood!!!!

[Marilyn]

Diana, hope all is well, and that your son's home does not get water inside. We've had quite a bit of rain here, but the heavest rains (19 inches in one day in Marble Falls, TX) have stayed northwest of us. Fortunately they have not been too bad on our watershed. They have affected the Colorado and San Antonio Rivers in Texas, but the river that causes flooding in our area, the Guadalupe is not getting as much rain. The Colorado River is above us and the San Antonio River is below us.

Be careful driving around. Flowing water has more force than a lot of people realize.

Just wondering how you and your son are doing today, Diana? I hope he didn't get any damage from the flood and that everyone is safe...

I"ve seen all the water on the news. To bad you can't ship it out.
I live in Northern Indiana and we haven't had rain in 3 weeks. The corn is suppose to be knee high by the 4th. We're lucky it's even still there.
Our lawn is just one big dust bowl. Your in my prayers that it stops raining for a
while for you all.

That looks terrible Diana, hope you, and your family are ok!! Hope things get better, and stops raining! Please keep us posted.

The news this morning looks really bad for Kansas. Hope all is well with you Diana. It rained here, very heavy most of the night. We're near the coast, so it runs off quickly, but I'm sure there are a few streets and roads closed this morning. Our greatest danger here is river flooding from rain upriver. So far so good.

It looks really bad in Kansas on the news this morning. My heart goes out to you. We had flooding like that in '98. The major news networks were here filming rescues. We live on high ground so no problem for us, but there is a lot of low land around here, and some people on high ground get isolated by flooding, sometimes for days with no power.

Diana, I'm still thinking of and praying for you and your family.

I bought some perennials today on sale and when I started to dig to plant them I decided to put it off because the ground is so dry it's like talcum powder. Nothing's going to take root in that! I spent over an hr watering the plants I do have in and set the new ones in the shade in their pots hoping for a better time to set them in the gound.

I would seriously LOVE to recieve those baggies from you! About an inch a day for the next week would be fine by me! I know better than to wish for too much though, as I sure don't envy your situation!

Here's hoping the rain blows north and comes where it's needed rather than making your lives so difficult!

Diana,

I hope you're all okay. A flood is a terrible thing to happen. There's such destruction!

As long as you're all safe, and nobody gets hurt is really what's important.

Prayers and hugs,

[DianaB]

Thanks for all of your well wishes. We're going through a really hard time and have been severely affected by the flood. You can read more on my post in "I'm back!"
