I'm out in the countryside, between Brazoria and Sargent, TX. We got a few hours of strong wind and hard rain Friday, but nothing too severe (thanks to being 130 miles north of the storm).


We did lose electricity, but I have a generator. I went over to a neighbor's house and chainsawed a tree up that was blocking his drive.


Sat and Sun we saw occasional hard rains and the area is flooded, but our ranchhouse is on a slight ridge so no danger of water entering. The creek in the back is nearly at its limit but I don't think it can threaten us, unless things go completely crazy.


We made a run to town and there are sections of the highway that are covered with fast water. My sister made the same trip later and said it has lessened somewhat, so that's good.


Hearing that Bay City is expected to flood completely due to rivers overflowing. I'll be standing by for assistance if I can.
