Hurricane Francine

   / Hurricane Francine #11  
Here in Tyler, I'm about 90 miles West of Shreveport, and the first band of rain is about to hit here. Forecast is for half to one inch of rain today, then it clears up tomorrow.

When Beryl came through here, falling trees where the biggest issue. Seems that our trees can only take so much wind and rain, and they they fall over. I have dozens of them on the ground that I'm hoping to get to before Summer comes back, but will be lucky to get half of them cleaned up by then.

We live 110 miles from the coast. It will pass just to left of us so we going to sons house this afternoon. We live in a doublewide, son has a good house! We had good many trees down for Hurricane Ida, none close to the house, not taking the chance.

Ida was really bad. I did some work in Cut Off a few weeks ago, and they are still rebuilding from Ida.

Well....we made it with no damage at my shop. About 1/2" of rain and a little breeze.

It came onshore around 5pm yesterday about 80-90 miles east of me. Houma and New Orleans got a lot more than I got.

Lucky for everyone it was not really bad.

My rain gauge shows 1 3/8's inches in it so far. We had some pretty heavy rain in the early afternoon yesterday, then it cooled off really nice after the rain passed. This morning, it's raining again, but very light. Just enough to keep everything wet.

It stopped raining in Texarkana early this morning and has been pleasant since. Guess we should be able to travel south of it by the time we head home.
