I know we have a number of members that hail from Texas.

Here is hoping that none of you have been adversely affected by the weather that has made the news.

I know very little about Texas geography, but hoping y'all came through ok.
 
My family cemetery didn't. At least most of the trees. I am going to try to post the images in a little while. Probably in the How's Your Weather thread. Thanks for asking Alan. We haven't had any deaths in my county but some others weren't so lucky. We've had plenty of property loss and sphincter-tightening though.
 
Thanks Alan for your concern. I will say most the woods I received haven't cracked as much with all the humidity we have had. I hate to think what is to follow after the rain stops. Rain forecasted for the rest of the week everyday. I hear it thundering outside as I type so more happening now.
 
Thanks for your concern Alan! We came out fine, no problems. San Marcos, New Braunfels and Wimberly (all less than 1/2 hour from me), were hit very hard. 300+ homes destroyed in a relatively small area. Everyone please keep a good thought for the people missing and the people who have lost everything. Tony
 
My sister lives in Wimberly and luckily her home was on high ground and came through OK. There's a reason for all the rain here in Texas

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.webp

I'll second that sign!!! I've been going through withdrawals and was just about to post a thread asking for altetnative ice cream recommendations!

On a more serious note, though, glad to hear that those of you who've posted are ok. Hope the same goes for the others... and praying for those less fortunate.

Henry, I think I can safely speak for most Texans when I say we are just out of ice cream. There really is no alternative. Tony
 
We have been fortunate. There has been some street flooding locally. The rivers around us though can not take anymore water and Brazoria county will be flooded for some time. Hard to believe that just a few years ago we were in a drought and lost about 10% of the forest due to it and fire.
 
Lots of rain, broken tree limbs, flooded some streets up to bottom of mailboxes on posts, thankful nobody swept away around here.
 
Nice to hear that WB members seem to have come through okay. Now what about downed trees? Chuck
 
There are trees down all around me! here. I was trying to convince @bean counter to go halves with me on a portable mill!
 
My sister in Dallas got lucky, the big tree fell out instead of in or it would have crunched the house right over my niece's bed.

Glad to hear that our WB members seem to have survived with life and limb.

WRT Blue Bell. Sigh we are suffering in the Heart of Dixie also.

A couple days ago I checked the web for any info ...
Sad things...
1. They don't know when they will lift the recall.

2. The first thing that pops up when you do search. Lawyers advertising the if you ate Blue Bell and got sick to give them a call.
(Everyone should be allowed to shoot one lawyer the first Saturday every month. May be that would control their spread.)
 
I can't even imagine what you guys are going through.....
Glad you guys made it out safely though....
 
You must have missed the "everyone" part....:sarcastic:
