Got a couple more inches of rain late last night here but it all ran off my hill. I did get news last night my previous neighbor's home back in East Tx has 18-24" of water thru out.
My sisters are both on high ground but unable to go very far due to flood water on the lateral roads and main highways. I haven't been able to contact my best friend back there, that is running cows on my old place, but he knows to cut fences or open gates to get them on a hill just South of there IF, he was able to get to it before the roads all went under water last Monday.
I'm guessing Caustic is in about the same shape; on high ground but probably can't travel as usual. Like all the rest that gets torrential rains for long period of time, any leaks they might have that go un-noticed, get revealed. Had one at my old place on a window high up I never knew leaked but after Harvey saw a water stain on the paint below the window.
Water may start down back at my old digs today. Close to record high water. I don't miss that part of living there. New owner is getting a lesson on why you don't go building a lot of outbuildings and infrastructure on grade there.

Water over FM 945 which runs in front of my old property.
Winter's Bayou bridge, located on highway 150. This bayou flows into the E Fork San Jac river a few miles south of my old place. This is what often happens there. Serious flood water appears, under perfectly clear skies and catches lots of people unaware.
