Information Discussion for Gate Guards
Thought I'd start a new topic for Gate Guards to use for comments. Like the moderator suggested-keep technical stuff, recipes, mechanical, etc. where they belong. Lets hear from everyone sucking down ...

I went to SA this morning at 5 am and headed back about noon...on I-35 to Dilley...Moore was getting MORE RAIN and HARD...then Pearsall got heavy rain with it coming down hard all the time but harder there. When I got to Dilley, the NEW Super 8 that opened today had the ground floor flooded and cars water bound. Road with water over it and when I tried to go out on 117 toward Batesville and got to my dirt turnoff the road had a "river" running over it and about 3' of water. 4X4's and semi trucks were plowing through and about that time they were giving tornado warnings for Witsett (Sp) and NE then Hess man told me a couple of trailers had been blown over and about 30' from where they were. Not sure where that was but think to the SW of Dilley. My wife was on the gate and we had 5++ inches of rain today! That is on top of the 2" we had the other day.
I had to catch a ride to the gate with a tanker...left car in town. Big BIG Thunder heads off to the SE and those to the South are now gone. Still think we will get more tonight. Will button the hatches. My Dish for TV went down but I set it up and WALA we had a picture!!!! Surprised me.
So we are safe up to this point and I did get the car brakes fixed...so was a good trip...wife just had a bad day.
