My Mother lives on a lake in North Texas (near the Oklahoma line) - their lake has been slowly drying up for years - Two weeks ago they got somewhere between 9 and 13 inches of rain in less than 3 hours and water was rushing in her front door while it was raining! She is too far from the water's edge to have to worry about flooding, but the rain like that was bizarre!!
Oh my.......your poor mother.
We got detoured yesterday on our way to soccer because the railroad bed had been washed out onto the road from the rain on thursday afternoon.....rain I might add that had not been in the forecast.
