TexasBred":2sziy6ae said:These dams have saved many a life and much property by being able to hold back flood waters and then allow it to come out at a manageable level instead of just allowing it to run wild. A dam and a reservoir on the Blanco River might have prevented all that chaos and death but the water came through uncontrolled....42 feet high !!!!!!highgrit":2sziy6ae said:Dam we've made a dam mess of this country with all these dams. All because of us, the cancer of the earth.

The remnants of Hurricane Carlos in the Pacific will wind up in west or central Texas and this thing down in Yucatan are going to come up thru East Texas/W. La.
The double whammy.

Special Statement
Statement as of 5:00 AM CDT on June 14, 2015
... Increasing risk for heavy rainfall especially on Monday and Tuesday
could lead to a dangerous flood threat for parts of southeast Texas...
Periods of showers and thunderstorms can be expected for the next several
days as deep tropical moisture streams across the area. There continues
to be a threat of locally heavy rainfall... and flooding is a possibility
where any type of training sets up. Additionally... a tropical disturbance
near the Yucatan Peninsula is expected to move into the southwestern
Gulf of Mexico today and potentially organize into a tropical depression
or tropical storm as it heads toward the northwest Gulf through Tuesday.
Rounds of heavy rainfall will likely accompany this system resulting
in a potentially dangerous flood threat for portions of the area.
Through Wednesday... widespread rainfall totals could easily average
6 to 8 inches with some amounts exceeding 10 inches where the best
training sets up. This will obviously lead to a dangerous flood situation.
Flash flood watches are going to be needed.
Residents across southeast Texas are urged to closely monitor the
weather over the next several days.
I JUST got my garden re-tilled and ready to replant after my last one died an inglorious drowning death, with the few survivors succumbing to a steam N bake death right after the water receded. Had planned on re-planting corn today--why bother?
