We are camping out near Conroe TX at a Thousand Trail Resort, and have had only a mist of rain from time to time all day long. Headed out in the morning trying to get closer to home. Maybe we will get as much as 200 miles up the road. Retired Truck Drivers don't drive alot of miles between breaks.LOL:roflmao :roflmao :roflmao

We need it too, last I checked Lake Lavon was 12 feet low:eek:
Bryan, this site, http://155.84.70.101/reports/LVNT2.TXT, will give you hourly updates on the pooling level of Lake Lavon. The normal level is 492 ft (sea level), right now it's 484.24 which is up by 2 feet in a couple of days. I'm glad to see it coming up, but don't need an 8 inch rain all at once.

CHP, Whatabudro, and others in the DFW area, what about this rain?????? I'm just north of Lake Lavon's Clear Lake Park and have received 7 inches since Friday night with it still coming down. Channel 4 in Dallas said earlier that some areas have received up to 10 inches. It's typical Texas weather, either feast or famine, whether it's rain, ice, heat, you name it.

You are not too far from me. We got about 6 in at our house over the weekend and blew over a tree. I was actually going to cut down the tree so it worked out better now that it is uprooted. :thumbs

I guess the rain put out all the fires didn't it? Mother Nature can be rough, can't she? I read an article where some of the fires were moving at 40 MPH. That's twice as much as the speed limit in most school zones. I went to Louisiana yesterday to get my mom, round trip was 13 hours. Saw three vehicles in the median on I-20 just west of Longview that were probably the result of the heavy rains on Sunday night. One was a new F150 that was buried up to the axles (looked like it just drove into the median), the other two were a Ford Explorer and a Toyota Sienna van that appeared to have flipped over but were back on their wheels. All of this was in a stretch of less than two-three miles. All of the vehicles had police yellow tape around them, probably waiting on a good tow vehicle to get them out. I figure the rain made them "hydroplane" off the road.
