I think I got everyone beat! I have been busy all weekend. I have some very dear, long time friends and she is having some health issues. So, cooked all day yesterday and last night, then drove almost to DAL to deliver food, bread, desserts, etc. I left at 0830 this morning, and had 0.4 in the rain gauge, and it was barely misting. I figured that was that, and was thankful for it. I almost did not get home, this afternoon!!! Rain had been falling hard all day, and roads were covered with water, and pastures were standing waist deep in it. Only had one spot that scared the poop out of me getting home, and that was 1/4 mile from the house. One small creek and bridge, and the creek was a raging river and over the bridge. Had I been in anything smaller than I was in, I would have never attempted crossing, and was lucky I didn't get into trouble crossing in my rig, because water 2 feet deep and rushing like this was can get one into trouble quickly. (Would have been deeper trying to come from the other direction to get home, as there is a creek on that end of the road that can be really wicked, when rains come like they did.) Anyway, both rain gauges were overflowing at the 5 inch mark, and I poured 10 inches of water out of the horse buckets and feed troughs!!! With the runoff, I have one section of fence that is going to need attention, before I turn any livestock back out near it, but ......drum roll, please.......My 2.5 acre stock tank is overflowing!!!!! It is almost 30 feet deep, and full capacity is 25 feet deep. Water is still running in, so it is still running out around the dam. Here it is from my front lawn area.
