"Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!" It started raining late last night and continued in waves. At 4 AM, I came downstairs and watched the rain come up to the patio. It just never stopped all night. At Barton Creek Mall, out by us, the rain gauge measured 12.18" this morning. The creek was out of its banks this morning. We had at least three water rescues (one by helicopter), just out here during the night. We're very fortunate to live high up on this limestone outcropping I always complain about.
They're calling it a "rain bomb." Two separate systems converged right over our area and stalled. I'm very sorry I jinxed the ACL Concert. They canceled it today because of the flooding. We're expecting more rain tonight.
We haven't been allowed to fill our fountain all summer because of water restrictions. Mother Nature took care of that!
