As predicted in a previous post, more heavy rains threaten Central Texas, including the Texoma area this week. Which of course includes flooded Lake Texoma.
As I type this, Tropical Storm Bill is forming in the Gulf of Mexico, and heavy rains are causing more flooding already in San Antonio.
With clean-ups going on at marinas, in private cabins and homes all around the lake, this week may prove to be another set-back.
Please be cautious in and around docks and boats, and pay attention to flash flood warnings wherever you are driving.
We're all tired of the rains and the flooding, but don't let that get in the way of your caution and good sense.
KXII.com and TexasStormChasers.com are both predicting high winds along with the rain storms, and the latter posted, "Tropical storm force winds of 40 to 50 MPH with higher gusts could create some localized issues with tree and power line damage where the highest winds occur...
"Folks that end up under or just east of the storm’s track from the Gulf Coast north into Oklahoma could receive widespread 4 to 7 inches of rain with isolated totals near 10 inches. Much of that could fall in a one to two day period – resulting in a significant threat to life and property due to flooding. The specific rain forecast will depend greatly on the track of the storm."
Be careful out there. folks.
