Well the weatherman has blown another one. They said that this would be a colder and wetter than normal winter. Not even close. Even though we have not had rain in many weeks the weather has not allowed the fields to dry out. We have had an unusually warm winter. I think we normally would have around 30+ days below freezing. So far I think there have been about 13 and that only lasted a couple of hours. The animals water has not even froze.

Well here we go again! The weatherman said we would only get .98 inches and so far in the last 6 hours we are over 4 inches.
Since we have moved here the bottom paddock has flooded a total of 3 times. This year it has flooded 5 times.
Roads are closed and north of us in the Dallas / Ft Worth metroplex there have been 8 people so far confirmed dead from more than 11 tornadoes. One hit about 15 miles south of me and another hit about 5 miles northwest of my daughters home.

More rain and more flooding. Grounds were still wet from the floods 3 days ago. Roads that were damaged got worse - some impassable. Normally the water drains off quickly but all the tanks, creeks, rivers, and lakes are full.
Tried to go north to be with my grand children on Halloween but had to take several detours cause of road closures.
It is still raining and more is expected this week.

After historical records last weekend it looks like we are going to get more this weekend. Not going to be a bad but in Navarro county the Red Cross is still helping people recover.

We are getting a record rain fall. Last night I45 in Corsicana was closed for more than 12 hours because the path under the interstate that was supposed to carry the water could not handle the volume.
Our all weather roads are not for this weather. Just getting down the street is impossible - even for off road 4x4. Thank goodness for John Deere otherwise we would not be able to get our 4x4 back home.
Engineers on a train, we have the mile long trains that come through Corsicana, ha...

Does not rain for about 42 days and then once again the skies have opened up. Couple of months ago we got a record rain fall and here it is again.
Everything is wet. I do not think there is a dry spot anywhere. All the loafing sheds are flooded. I have had to put the animals in stalls in the stable to keep them all dry. I tried to dig a trench around one of the sheds tonight but it was still too wet.
We are getting hit with a Low from California and also Hurricane Patrici...
