Where In The World #20

[goopysolelady]

SUN IS SHINING but not sure if that's good or bad. It's getting HOT which is NOT good in this moist, unstable air...more Facebook photos of damage:



.








DD showed me a picture earlier of SNAKES crawling across the top wire of a barbed wire fence! And the poor deer that are trapped...another photo of about 20 trapped in a fenced pasture; can't get out and water keeps rising...found the snake picture...

that's a lot of road damage

Pretty bad and water rescues all day. It's moving fast too...two of our volunteer firemen with 4 people they rescued, had their boat capsize! They're safe but it's SO dangerous...and more rain moving in later this evening again...for the next 3 days in fact. DH feels so bad that he can't be out there helping but, selfishly, I'm GLAD. I don't see how repairs get done quickly; school may be out longer than 2 days...."country folk" can't get into town...period.

I'll go with HS next on your crop.

Internet connection is VERY spotty so if I "disappear" again, just waiting for it to come back on. Have NO idea how much it's rained; for sure 10" but between 1ish and 5ish this morning the rain our rain gauge was running over and the rain was HEAVY. Slept maybe 2 hours...damn CODE RED telephone notification called 4 times and Austin County Emergency Management called twice. The area looks like this...from Facebook...I have not and will not go out!

High water rescue by Sheriff's Department:

Austin County Sheriff
1 hr ·
Flooded in on mixville rd. We are ok though. I don't like thathat new car is sitting in a foot of water. It is starting to receed. If it will just stop raining.




hr
Mill Creek Road near Kuykendall





School for tomorrow has already been cancelled because of road conditions like this:

This is between New Ulm and Cat Spring. About 25' deep about 60' across on FM 1094







It's taken 1 1/2 hours to get this post ready...that's how our internet connection is working! Rehab Center just called and moved DH's PT from 4 to 2 PM so need to get him ready to transport...later.

Is this something for sale? Is it part of a display?

 

[dhorner233]

Is it the scene with Ursula?

Yes Ma'am...I do mean the Little Mermaid ride...the "official" name, as listed on the map, is "Under the Sea-Journey of The Little Mermaid"...and here's my photo of Ursula...different colors but looks like the same pattern:

Jeff is a winner! Bonus points for Karolyn for having her own picture!

Your weather is always so horrible! Worse than Florida's. Worse than NH. You win the award for worst weather!

Is it related to the Muppets? Inside or outside?

Animal rescues all day too and people from Houston area looking for shelters for their horses in Austin County. Last I heard those in charge of the local Animal Shelter were in need of a boat to get the homeless dogs out. They were safe but needed to be brought out of the shelter area to higher ground. I'm sure a lot of deer didn't make it...they graze in ranchers pastures that are fenced. Once the water starts rising they have no way to get out. Most of the ranchers have "open range" so their cattle are free to move about the ranch to higher ground; I'm sure a few have been lost but shouldn't be to bad. In Houston, a riding facility for handicapped children lost everything and their horses had to swim out. The "exit area" became blocked so fast they only got 3 out before the roads flooded. They had volunteers in boats come in and rope the horses to guide out but the horses had to swim. They all made it but wasn't an easy task. An ABC news reporter rescued a man from his car on live TV; the water came up so fast the man barely had a chance to get out and the reporter waded out to assist him. In the short time that took his car was totally submerged...only the antenna sticking out!

I'd say Diane and I TIED this year so far; we haven't gone through hurricane season yet! ... and Ed lives on the coast! It's just SO hard to believe when 2 1/2 years ago we were in the middle of that horrible drought and all the wildfires! Some areas in Houston had 17 inches; a small community to our west had 20. I asked our newspaper editor earlier what the official count was...haven't heard back from him yet. All I know is that it rained HARD all night long!

My crop is from HS

Is it from the Disney Jr. show?

This is not for sale; I wouldn't classify this as part of a "display"...more a "decoration".

Hi all

Sorry I've been missing these days. Finished my first full week at the new job km and while i haven't done much as I'm still in training mode mm i think I'm going to enjoy it! My coworkers are all really nice. I can't wait to actually start working the front line km not interacting sub people is slowly killing me.

Joe and i put the deposit down on our reception venue Friday, even though it came in over budget. It wasn't an easy decision, especially when his mom offered to completely pay for a Disney wedding, but ultimately we decided having our families attend was more important. And I really really want to get married in my church. So the biggest thing on our checklist is taken care of! Now we get to play guest at all the other weddings this year.

We have decided to skip my cousins in August. Sorry Karolyn, but flights to Austin just aren't in the budget. I'll have to make it out to Texas some other time!
