Stay dry Porkpal. The long range forecast says Texas is going to continue with this system for a few more weeks at least. Make sure to keep your supplies stocked and gas in your car. I remember reading about some of the historical accounts of the worse floods there and it was pretty bad. I'm sure you already know all that but it is good to be prepared. After seeing the struggles of those effected by the Sandy hurricane I have made sure to keep as much supplies as I can to have on hand just in case of some crazy natural disaster. The government has huge budgets for things like FEMA. They are nowhere to be seen when people need them. Point being is that when things get hairy you are on your own and it is better to be safe than sorry.
