Flooding in East Texas

[OldUsedParts]

Crossed the Trinity river on 105 between Cleveland and Beaumont this afternoon. Way above the usual flow, where there is usually a wide beach it was water as far as the eye could see.
And supposed to rain all week.

That's my old Stomping Grounds for many years (Tarkington) - 2nd thru 12th at Cleveland- - I've seen it high there many times in my life and those folks that have their homes in that River Bottom can't count the number of times they've had to rebuild.

Boy I’m sick of this rain

I've seen some long spells in Texas and have been here since 1947 +- but I'm not sure that ?we? might be setting some "consectutive days record"

We haven't had near as much rain as everyone in East Texas, but we've had some monster hail in this area (thankfully not in our neighborhood).

They’re calling for some rain every day until next Thursday; we’ve gotten another inch and a half today

I came down 19 out of Athens TX. heading to Lake Livingston and ran through heavy rain between Crockett and the lake.

Pouring it out again this afternoon. Gardens are shot and the people with cattle and horses can’t get in the hayfields. The first cut isn’t going to have any fertilizer on it. Hopefully they can cut this crap they have in the field by July and get some fertilizer on for the 2nd cutting. I’ve heard round bales will be $100 a roll IF you can find any

Went on a 2 1/2 wk trip. Left the rain in TX, got to IL, it rained most days, went to Hot Springs only to see more rain, came home and RAIN.
Tried to mow my yard yesterday and had to leave 1/4 of it due to wetness.
