Wolfman and Henri, How's the rain in Texas?

[Ed McCullough]

Wolfman and Henri,
   The big rainstorm Bill went over or very close to your area. How are you guys?

[SlideMeister]

Ha ha! I started to write a follow up to "How cold is it?" yesterday but was interrupted, and being an old guy; forgot about it soon afterward

YES!! It's been raining like a stinkin' bear!!  I've never seen this much rain since I moved here over forty years ago. Thank goodness I bought another one of those Little Giant pumps a month ago at a yard sale. It works in a quarter inch of water and puts out about 12 GPM. The other day, my front yard turned into a lake and my basement wall started leaking. I put the pump in a low spot and so far I've been able to control it pretty well. Is it too late to plant rice?

[Ed McCullough]

Yeah, those rains in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York flooded some towns south of Ithaca, New York. this is the second time in five years that one town I lived in has had a flood. In 2011 my high school town by the Susquehanna River was 65% flooded.

A, Won't it be nice if your little pump makes the difference between a flooded cellar and a dry cellar?

[SlideMeister]

Actually, one more would have been even better but they aren't cheap. Here it is:

I got mine for 25 bucks

Hey Wolfman.... About 45 South of you in SA & we didn't get as much as I thought we would.
Yesterday afternoon & evening it came down pretty good with some flooding but it's just a little
South Texas Shower. I think Houston got hammered again. Good place not to be in the rain.
