Ike came up the Mississippi.”

I know Texas is big, but running it all the way to the MIssissippi is stretching it just a bit. I do know it came up the Chocolate Bayou and Hickory Slough though.

maybe it came from that direction, but it was Ike. One of the big open storm drains flooded badly enough that several houses were bought out by FEMA. We're set up for some pretty heavy rain that we get in the spring which just dumps into the Missouri, the Meramec and the Mississippi eventually, but that storm overwhelmed the system.
