And Dallas. We're sending you more water, btw. GL with that.
And, in the greater Dallas area - Dallas County, Denton County, other counties in this area. Our local lake, Lewisville Lake, has dumped numerous millions of gallons in the Trinity River and that river has flooded down stream through central Texas to San Antonio/Austin with multi millions of more gallons added in along the way.
Here at my house, today, we got 3 1/2 inches from Bill, the tropical depression. Yesterday, 2 inches from Bill. This area is overrun with water, houses destroyed, people plucked out of flood water for the last month, before Bill. All lakes in the area were full and flooding before Bill.
A guy who has lived here for 30 years has not seen this kind of rain in this area. Our drought for years is gone.

You’re right about that. We’ve already had more than half of our normal annual rainfall and June isn’t over yet. Brazos River is coming up again and will be over flood stage by tomorrow morning after going down earlier this week. Areas just south and west of Houston had 8-9 inches of rain today but most of Houston area was spared. No areas of Texas have any drought now. Cattle ranchers and we beef consumers are delighted.
