Glad you're safe ticka!!!!

I sure had one heck of a day!! See my flooded wet rat thread. :o

Hey...ya'll look out, ok?

Finally has quit raining on the west side. We had 2.82" here at the house today. All but .6" of that feel between 4:30pm and 6:30pm. Many flooded streets all over the metro area. At least 4 tornado warnings today with one comfirmed f(0) in Sugarland, SW of me. Just had an im from Ticka and her rain guage has overflowed at 5" and it is still raining on her side of town, about 40 miles East of me.

It finally quit raining. Here was the latest we got in warnings.

I know I have over 5 inches of rain and my whole yard is flooded. I am sure I have water in my utility room again. This bites. Why when it rains its floods????

I'll keep everyone posted. According to radar looks like things are winding down - about time. I better get some cooler weather out of this!!

Thanks for the concern, PT! As far as I could tell, we didn't get much of anything down here except some showers. We were very lucky.
