Deluge headed your way.
Just saw a King snake seeking high ground in my backyard.
It is really bad for some folks here. Many

houses have FEET of water in their houses and the ones that don't have 3 to 4 feet of mud against the walls of their houses. Fences are being pushed over due to the mud and water. And more rain is forecast for the next 2 or 3 days. Thank the Lord we are up at the high point of our street but there is several inches of water in our front yard. The ground is covered with earthworms that have drowned due to so much water.
What part of the county are you in?

On the grass lands.
Are the flooded homes newer construction built in low lying areas that were historically avoided?
Most of them are on Hwy 180 just past

the Sechrist school and most are older homes, no new construction. The school has about a foot of mud in the parking lot, as do several other building in that area. The houses are about 6 feet lower than the hwy so they get all the run off. Most of the houses on that side of the road are really messed up with 3 to 4 feet of mud up against the side o the house and a lot of water damage inside. The main problem is the city has front end loaders out there trying to get as much mud away from the houses but on the other side of the road is a steel hillside and the rain comes down that hillside in sheets and right across the road in 6 to 8 inches of water and down the hill to the houses. Plus we are expecting rain for another week or two. So it is not looking good for the folks that live in that area.
