My trailer didn't flood or float away, so I'm good
the holes in my yard filled with water, though

We are getting it now.... wind and rain...lots of both!

I live like 6 blocks from the gulf, wind comes in fast from the south....

How you doing down there ART? NEIL? I bet Neil is having a snazzy not being able to get out and ride, because of roads flooding...

I stayed in Saturday. Could have gone out riding, but it ain't easy to start a ride in the rain. (Getting caught in the rain is OK).
Rode Sunday.
One picture is posted below.
A few more pictures here: (too lazy to repost).

We got just over eight. The first three was just buckets on buckets, the next five took a out thirty hours.

It was something alright. It was drizzling at 9 am saturday, coming down hard by 11 am and then just a steady rain until sometime early this morning. Did not do much of anything this weekend. And now they say it is going to rain next weekend. I hope not.

North Texas didn't get hit as hard as Corsicana so I am going to try a rural ride tomorrow. The rural roads have been in awful shape since the rain in May, and as of last week most roads have not been repaired. I am expecting the worst.

Finally stopped raining about 8am this morning... lots of small branches in my back and front yard, the plants out front blew over so many times we just left them until this afternoon.

Went for a ride at about 1pm and had some lunch at a local pub, was great weather! Nice clear, clean air and about 83 degrees, should have stayed out longer, but alas, had chores to do >:(
