Yes we were begging for rain but not for flooding. If this rain would spread out more we would not have this thread open. And Texans are not hard to please we just need rain for our grass, beer/whisky to keep our whistle wet, and good weather for our football and softball. Thats not too much to ask for lol
Didn't some place in Texas get an inch in a few minutes?
I got trapped in a monsoon once, and even a monsoon isn't THAT bad. Getting to Noah's Ark time.

I haven't seen/heard the exact quote, but they estimated Houston area got 2 to over 4 inches per hour of rainfall Monday night through Tuesday morning (the storms raged from 9 p.m. until 6 a.m.); and then we got hit again Wednesday morning for about 2-3 hours. And now we are about to get hit with even more storms...it is currently quiet but there is lightning in the horizon that I can see from my office. I may be swimming home this afternoon.
I think every major city in Texas is seeing some sort of flood disaster.
Just got word our tourney with 28 10u teams got cancelled due to wet fields and more rain in the forecast.
On the plus side, our LL games have been able to play this week and it's looking good for tonight.

Yes, but making up the entire drought in a matter of days?????
We didn't get water in the house, but a lot of our new neighbors weren't so lucky.
We were supposed to play this past weekend in a knock off the rust tournament now that all our HS girls are back. Didn't happen -rain. Scheduled to play in the organization friendly this weekend in San Antonio. Hopefully that will happen. Next weekend is the PGF Qualifier.
Practice? What's that???
Friendly schedule for this weekend just canceled.
Maybe not so bad since DD is sick.
Way up in Wisconsin DD is supposed to play her first tourney of the year this weekend. Might get rained out.
(----And this one invested in a 500 gallon rain water tank to water their lawn.
At least it's a full 500 gallon tank!

In the real big storm 2 weeks ago, my town got 8.8 inches in 4 hours. Town flooded pretty good, didn't see DH all day since he's a first responder and people kept driving off into the ditches.
I also lost a good size tree and power for most of the day.
The 24 hour total was 12 inches.
It's about averaging a storm every other day right now. Had one this morning another one due in tomorrow.
I saw on the internet news that part of the Pig Trail highway in Arkansas is closed due to mudslides caused by flooding. That used to be the main way we would drive from Fayetteville to Little Rock. Very interesting road to drive, with hairpin turns you would not believe. A friend of mine made the mistake of driving that road in the winter, when it was covered with snow. Cost him a lot of money to get his car towed.
