Checked the radar a few minutes ago - nice bow echo ongoing in the western half of the state. Derecho Days are here again, from the looks of things.
Stay safe. |

I'm in Houston county and I'm sick of this shit. Expecting ~3 more inches this afternoon. We've already had 57" since October. That's 20" over our annual average. My pastures are so saturated that pecan trees are falling over just because the roots can't hold them up anymore.
And the pine trees in the nat'l forest are falling for the same reason. Already had to replace over 1/2 mile of fence from tree damage. Probably more damage out there, but I don't have anything that can get to some parts of the ranch. Mud is too deep even for horses to cross. I knew I should have bought an LCAC. On the plus side, I'm guessing there won't be much risk of forest fires this year... |

Yes, the thunder is pretty much continous at this point. No heavy rain yet.

Friends of friends. They two families got together and rented a house for the weekend. House was washed off the stilts and floated down the river until it hit the bridge and shattered. The father of one of the families is the body mentioned in the article. Everyone else is still missing. |

Is this a 10 year flood or something unprecedented? Asking because lots of the stuff being flooded looks like relatively new construction.
