I hope that no one has a camper in the Rio Grand Valley now:
....there could be a tremendous quantity of rain coming for the RGV Friday/Saturday. I hope this doesn't materialize!
Forum Discussion
It's easy to associate the RGV with Texas snowbirds. It seems like there is a strong voice on this forum for the area. Much of it is based on the belief that it's too cold to be anywhere else in Texas.
The truth of the matter is there is a ton of Snowbirds all the way up the coast from South Padre Island to Galveston Island/Bolivar Peninsula. Many leave their rigs on site or in nearby storage. Those are the rigs I would worry about because most are within 5 miles of the coast. There are no real Bayous to absorb water (backup) like in other parts of the Gulf coast.
With the rain coming down and heading for the Gulf and the storm surge coming inland, it's hard to imagine some TX snowbirds this fall won't come down to find a real mess. 24-36 hours should tell the full story.
