Hmm. Didn't know Dallas was flooding - I'm heading there tomorrow.

Surprisingly this front petered out as it entered East Texas. My place stayed dry last night. Where I live, we've already exceeded 2014's total rainfall.

Fuck you California, here you go Texas.

Yesterday I finally got an umbrella, for the first time in 10 years.
THAT should tell you something ... or not.

Never prayed for rain let alone much else. My back yard is a bog. This is getting silly but it was the only way for the lakes to get refilled.

I passed over the Trinity River (East Fork) yesterday on my way to Dallas. Holy crap. Entire fields were flooded spanning a mile probably. The piddly river is now a lake. Water was pouring out of one field in one looong waterfall fronting the road. Looked like the highway overpass was maybe 7-8 feet above the water line. Dangerously close to submerging the interstate, IMO. Never seen anything like it.

Closer to home, the Sabine River has also become a tree-choked swamp. I'd guess at 10 feet over its banks. Fishermen were out in force.

Record month of rain for the state.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/31/us/severe-weather/index.html

So much rain has fallen this May on flood-ravaged Texas that it could cover the entire state with 8 inches of water, meteorologists say.

In all, 37.3 trillion gallons of water have fallen over the state of Texas in May, the National Weather Service said

The Red River is about to bust out. Flooding is possible.
