Wednesday night, we had a little misting. At 1:30 AM , it was storming. Heavy rain, lightning and thunder woke us up. We were glued to the tv watching the weatherman. The worst of the storm sat over Westlake for over an hour. I was sure the courtyard was going to flood but it didn't. We sat up until 3:30 when the worst of it had passed. We lost electricity a few times, but it came back on. Lots of flooding in Austin and surrounds.
Thursday morning our rain gauge had 5", but the neighbor's had 5 1/2 inches. Over the next couple of days, we had over three more inches. Grateful for the rain, just wish we could have spread it out a little more! Hard to believe it was the remnants of the hurricane, Odile!
Now it's just hot and muggy.
I thought for sure you would have gotten some of the weather, Linda.
