SE Texas rain
« on: April 18, 2009, 04:58:48 PM »
Hope everyone else is doing okay around SE Texas with all this rain. We got about 15" so far but its draining away pretty good. My fathers pond is up about 4' and was about 6" from spilling over the back bank yesterday. This morning while there was a break in the weather he and I dug a trench so the water could spill out into the ditch without washing all his fish away.

There was a drowned rat in my back yard yesterday, literally.

I am in SW Louisiana sharing the rain with ya'll. I am working nights this weekend all I have been able to do is sit in my unit, and watch these ppl drive in this so that they can go to the club. We have had a few wrecks one with severe head wounds. Oh well <S> hope to see an end soon.

Meanwhile, in Rome, NY the old Erie Canal, which is usually between 6 and 7 feet deep, is shallow enough that the fish swimming in it leave a wake on both the surface and the mud on the bottom. No more than about a foot deep.

Stupid weather.

I have family up near you.

No, it worked out. We put a pipe in the trench and put a screen net in front of it so the little baby bass that were born a few weeks ago don't go bye bye. Po

Friday/Saturday we got 2.01" here in Hot Springs, AR.

I don't really worry about the heavy rains of late--I live on a mountainside.  It would have to rain 700' to bother me.
