[HCARC] Enough Rain Yet???

[Gary J - N5BAA]

We are real close to 20 inches of rain since May 1 here.  A quick glance has 
us easily over 18 inches. and that doesn't add the small fractions of an 
inch in the record.  It is good however that all this rain hasn't fallen in 
the upper Guadalupe watershed.  Had it fallen there there would have been 
massive flooding on the Guadalupe right now - what a difference a few miles 
makes.  It's the same as the BIG storm in July 2002 when 52 inches of rain 
fell in 4 days at my QTH.  We lost our whole lake spillway in that storm.

9.31 inches yesterday, last night and this AM in Pecan Valley.  Looked at
Frank Edwards QTH on my way to town today and he was on an island with Verde
Creek all around him.  Storm washed out part of the spillway (about 30-40
feet 15 feet high) of our Dam at pecan Valley Lake.  The county put 16 yards
of cold asphalt into a hole in the road before the bridge into Center Point
Estates (FM Rd 1353 and Center Point Estates Road.

More rain coming tomorrow and Tues.

The pavilion at OLH stayed dry though.
