We had a little rain on 8/16/2007 here in San Antonio. The Newscasters say that we got 6 - 8 inches of rain in about 6 hours. I can believe it because it sure was coming down here at the ranch. The river came up a little bit. This is a picture taken from Margaret and Jack's back porch. The water got to within 20 feet of their house. It did stop raining and the water went down fast. No damage and more important, no one was hurt.
This is a picture of our driveway taken from Margaret and Jack's house towards my driveway and Blue Wing Rd. There was over three feet of water at my gate. We were on an island for a while with the houses completely surrounded by water.
The good news about the flood besides the obvious, such as no one was hurt and the water didn't get in the houses was that we got Pebble Beach back. It was almost gone as a result of the last little flood we had come through. Now we can find some more Indian artifacts.
