I think I've lost track of the FReepMail I was composing; stuff happening too fast elsewhere...

Hope you get to stay in your house!

Watch out for sudden water rises, though. That whole bridge deck is tumbling downstream. (You could see it in the video, with the water spouting up over chunks of it.) If a lot of it gets piled up at one spot, that would form a big, temporary dam just downstream from you...

Might be a good idea to have the car backed into the garage -- ready for a quick getaway...

Prayers UP!

We’re safe from the bridge debris. But boat after boat has gone down river along with all sorts of debris. We’re worried about the 1431 bridge on the south side of Kingsland with stuff getting caught up on it.

Right now someone’s dock is passing by with six chairs neatly sitting in a straight line all undisturbed.

VERY weird is our boat dock. It is defying all laws of physics and refusing to give up the ghost. It rose up about 5 ft. and has now dropped about back to normal. It is NOT a floating dock. We and the neighbors are laughing and shaking our heads over it. Dangest thing I ever saw. The water is receding but reports are that it may rise again from the San Saba and Colorado Rivers (the TX one, not the Grand Canyon one) flooding. Those will bring flood waters from the other direction - with us in the middle of the two.

Annnnd, another 2 lost boats passing.

A blue heron wandering along the water line looking for a meal. The kitties finally settled down after looking at the water in their yard. They were inside yesterday so are getting cabin fever. Don’t think I’m going to let them out tonight so I’ll be the big meanie.
