Everything here in San Antonio is soaked. We didn't have the one day downpours like you did, but a week gentle rains that amounted to over four inches the last few days. Except for weeds and mosquitos it's going to be a beautiful spring.

That's what made this event even worse......we've had those gentle rains for the past week too, so that the ground was already saturated. So this rain quickly filled up the ditches and bayous and then started to rise.

The positive news is that the water has receded overnight, thanks to a north wind blowing the bay waters offshore which allows things to drain more quickly. We might see a few peeks of sun today and the forecast is showing nice weather for the coming week. I just hope the ground dries enough to plow before it rains again.

we had well over 5" at our house, officially Galveston got almost 4 but we had way more then that. The pond remains over it's banks. We had already had a fair amount last week.

Good news for the state though.

Tally HO!

Luvs2 where are you? To get so much rain.

I'm located between Houston and Galveston. Rain sat right here along the coastline the entire day. And just about the time we start to dry out, it rains again. Thankfully, this morning's showers were fast-moving and brief......although we were surprised w/ small hail as the line was beginning to move through. Ahhh, spring in Texas. :D
