Wet times in San Marcos

Wow, what a thunderstorm last night. We've had worse in the past, but it's been quite awhile. According to our own little weather station we got over nine inches last night. . .  over three inches in just one hour. Many of the local creek and river crossings are closed, so people are having some real challenges getting to and from work.

As we live on a hill there's not much chance of our house flooding. Our friends who are here visiting commented that their room was pretty well lit up all night with the lightening. We definitely need the moisture, so no complaints here!

The possible rains predicted for today have been canceled, so last night's deluge has some time to soak in.  There was quite a bit of destruction up north, in and around Austin, with several photos available in the galleries here http://www.kvue.com/news/local/Photos-Storms-over-Central-Texas-229986281.html
