Texas Flood

[Jerry Daniels]

Stephen,

Here in the Austin area (Central Texas) we've had rain almost every  
day for, well, it seems like a week now. The ground here is  
uncharacteristically water logged, so any new rain will pool and  
cause "flash" flooding rather quickly now.

Our streams (which as Chipp has pointed out) are usually dry this  
time of year and everything has a dusty or brown color to it. Not the  
case this Summer so far. I feel like I'm living in Houston...not a  
good thing for an Austin person to say, in terms of weather, anyway.

We are having no flooding here or in town where my son and daughter  
live. Like Chipp, we live on the Southwestern edge of the metro area.  
And there is no flooding here, either.

Thanks for your concern. We have had continuous power, internet and  
even some sunshine (today).

If you want to get a taste of Central Texas with lots of rain, just  
listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn's "Texas Flood"...he says it better than  
anyone. Well worth the purchase, btw. Central Texan's really just  
can't believe it will ever really rain. We drive like idiots in the  
rain. Every so many years it freezes and then we drive suicidally.

Best,

Jerry & Family
