This evening there was heavy rain with major highways closed in the middle Brazos basin around Stephenville and Granbury.

I crossed the Brazos River bridge on Highway 290 today and the water looked like it was only a couple of feet from overflowing the bank.

Here is some drone video down around I-10

That’s my home area... although I haven’t lived there in quite awhile. I did live there during the big flood in 1994 and before. I can tell you this: There has been a TON of development around there since that time.

Houses now stand where rice fields used to be. There’s no predicting who will be affected and by how much.

One plus to such flooding is: Fire Ants get WIPED out of large areas... :-) Takes them almost a year to spread back in.

I thought Globull Whorming is causing the drought.

Crossed the Brazos this morning and back this afternoon near Brenham. You could tell from the water lines that at one time it was about 2 miles wide.

Roads all over Washington County are washed out. I came up on one section with no warning and it went from pavement to gravel with about a foot drop. The asphalt was lying in the ditch. And numerous roads had barriers up. Washington County got hit hard and they got more rain tonight with more on the way the next three days.

It seems every time I hear about Texas weather, it’s either a flood or a drought.
