Good morning! 72˚ more rain heading this way in about an hour. The ground is already saturated, my drive still has puddles, all the ponds are full and the bypass is open on the cistern and I have pumped water out of the pool.

Woke last night to the sound of thunder. How far off I sat and wondered.
More rain coming down. My lawn needs mowing, but I havent been able to find a john boat with a PTO to attach a mowing deck. They were saying earlier in the wek that we only had 20% chance of showers tomorrow and 30% on Sunday. That's been revised upward to 60% both days. Sheesh. Rain in the forecast every day next week as well. I think our drought has been busted. Even our sand paddock is now showing forb growth.

True, but on the postive side, the drought was state wide. There are only 53 counties left characterized as in a drought. We're making progress. Long range forecast is for a wet summer Hopefully everybody rebounds.

Good Morning. 0805, partly cloudy, 73F with 96% humidity. Forecast high of 82F with 50% chance of thunderstorms today, and a low of 69F tonight. A nice day of showers yesterday. We got about 1/4". The next 4 days is forecast to be about the same, then 2 days of sun followed by 4 days of less than .2"
Margie took the day off, so don't know what we will get into. I do need to pick green beans and squash. I will also stare at my largest cucumber and try to decide if it is big enough to pick today. Last year the tomatoes got ready before the cukes. This year it is reversed. Onions are a still a couple three weeks away.
Gary, happy birthday.
Drew, I can't get by without a car. These days I only drive the Tacoma when I'm hauling something that won't fit in the Camry or the old Prius.

Yes. Hyw 21 was closed, flooded and a car sunk in my cousins pond (it is open now). 1624 at the Yegua creek has been impassable for several days. and the W. Yegua is lapping at the bridge. CR 107,108, 106, FM696 and my road have been closed for hours after the storms each day at their low water crossings. (And thats just on this side of the county.) But after the drought nobody is complaining - except for the people that did not turn around and almost drowned.
Another 1/2" thunderstorm this morning and it will continue to rain most of the day. I've only had 4" this week and according to COCORahs have had the least about of rain in the county. Others just miles away have gotten up to 2X more.

Beautiful morning. Got about half inch of rain last night. Have 200 trees to plant. Better to go now before the next storm hits us this afternoon.

Now that you are out of road salt country, you could have a nice old car. 1929-1935 maybe, back when cars were cars. You need something around the place that's older than you.

I could use some of that rain. I need to get the watering can out in May. Crazy.

Pouring down now again, over 1.5" this morning.
Ron I found this site. Austin road closures and low water crossing status it includes the major roads in Lee County (east of Austin) also.
It does not include gravel roads - like my county road - which is now flooded. It's nice to be 50' above the flooding road.
