Re: Re:Tx Storm now IL storm

we had a storm go thru early evening last night. Alhough I only got a
couple of inches of rain, Joliet which is about 10 miles from here got 5
and half inches of rain in 90 minutes... can you say flooding!

 
many twisters were seen, actually as I was leaving work the sirens where
blaring, but none touched down around here. Hope those to the east
faired as well....

Yep and last week we had quite a bit too.  Then got  another 5 inches Tues. 
and another 6 yesterday.  The ground is just so  absolutely saturated with 
water, the bayous so full, that it just has no where  to go.  Heard yesterday that 
there is also a River flood warning.  At  least today we are down to a 30% 
chance.  It's been raining all morning  though (no storms though) so haven't 
been able to let the dogs out.  I'm  really surprised how well the plants are 
doing despite all the rains, showing  signs of chlorosis, but all in all not bad. 
The plants that need less  water are in raised areas, and those that 
tolerate a lot are lower, all doing  fine.  Thank goodness for that......so far.

No  kidding.  And didn't y'all get about 20 inches in one week about a  month
ago??
