I'm from the middle west but, really enjoy reading Texas news. They keep promising us rain/thunderstorms and they lie. We could use them badly. Even when it does rain it just sinks fast into the ground. Our area was a former quarry and has loads of boulders under the grassy lawns.*
Interesting though when we moved in over 50 years ago, everyone else had a hose and were pumping out their flooded basements, Our basement was totally dry.*
Also found tons of empty paint cans, and other debris. Ours was the last house built on this area and quite apparently, the garbage from earlier homes was shoved from one house to the next to the end of block (us) and covered with some dirt. Thanks alot.
BTW typing in basement, it is so cold now with A/C on, have to go find one of my fleece jackets - I'm freezing down here.
