Heavy Rain in Texas



As the remnants of tropical storm Hermine makes
her way out of Texas, most of the state has recorded
some heavy rainfall. From Central Texas up through
North Texas, six to ten inches are being recorded.
Flooding was occuring in San Antonio, Austin, and the
Dallas-Fort Worth areas. I live in Denison, which is
right on the northern edge of Texas and we had heavy
rain all day long on Wednesday. Some wind damage was
reported, but luckily, no tornadoes. Wind blew over a
truck on U.S. Highway 75 just north of the Red River into
Oklahoma and the highway was blocked off for several
hours. Locally, my wife and I had to do some quick irrigation
changes to redirect the water from our backyard to a new
route down the side of the house. Most of the rain has run
its course now and the storm has moved on to Oklahoma,
Arkansas, and Missouri.
