Been an interesting day. Still no electricity, tho of the 17 customers on my side of the river, 3 have power and Entergy is at a loss as to why the rest of us don't. They were walking/wading the whole line right before dark to try to figure a plan for 1st thing tomorrow morning. I had to drive 45 miles round trip to buy gasoline today :bang: :bang:
Some pics:
1. Some moron in an Expedition tried to drive thru high water right in front of my place and went over the side. Got him out, and DPS arrested him for DUI.
I drove the old Ford 3600 thru some water, accross my pond dam and took this panoramic shot of about 1/2 the place, looking back toward the house.
Nearest paved county road to me, culvert washed completely out. (There's another way around thru a guy's yard so I could still get in and out) That's a county gradall boom and bucket on the right side of the pic--they're getting ready to pull the steel pipe out and replace it with a new poly pipe.
Water running around the West side of my pond dam.
Water is within 6" of topping the dam. Highest I have ever seen it since flood of record in 1994.
So far, my County still believes in He whom we can't talk about here. (San Jacinto County Precinct 3 Constable Sam Houston.
