Half-way to that predicted 30 inches...16 1/2 inches and counting.

We've discovered our first roof leak

but DH put a bucket under it so ceiling shouldn't get any wetter. The local CBS station in Houston went off the air about 10 this morning when their studio suddenly flooded. Must have happened quickly...no "sign off"...just a "frozen on scene reporter" standing in the middle of a freeway broadcasting. Actually looks like we may get a much needed break with actual SUNSHINE

once this current bands moves through. Not over by a long shot; one weather website is showing 6" totals for Monday, Tuesday AND Wednesday. Currently the storm is stationary but making signs to move south again, back out into the Gulf and POSSIBILITY of gaining strength again before it moves up to the coast and makes a 2nd landfall just west of Galveston. If that holds true we'll be on the "clean side" and see fewer showers...but that's not suppose to happen until maybe THURSDAY! This was the backyard about an hour ago...first time I could get on the back patio to take a picture without getting wet.
Diane...you get snow days...we get HURRICANE/RAIN DAYS

Our newspaper editor says Mill Creek is "feisty" this morning:
Hobby and Bush airports in Houston will be closed until Tuesday or Wednesday; parts of Houston have had 25 inches. As of this morning there had been over 2,000 emergency water rescues and counting. Ben Taub Hospital is being evacuated. This is the medical center in downtown Houston:
