Thank you, LadyP..All tornado warnings in my part of Texas are now gone..Thunderstorns still possible tonight for me..

It's been a long time since I have seen this much rainfall in a short period of time..That's what causes the flooding..something I don't have to worry about, thank heavens.

I missed the big hail storm last year that made me and my neighbors have to replace our roofs..I was at my daughter's then.
