Lorlee, are you okay?

After: White Rock Creek in Dallas today.

After what seemed like forty days of news reports about the flooding of Texas, we inquired of our Dallas friend if she was in need of an ark yet. Lorlee's post-diluvian response:

"Last night brought another five inches at my house -- I have had to do a bit of trenching where it comes off the roof, but still no ark needed.

"Not so for a lot of other people in lower areas. Some areas got 7-8 inches last night and areas that have never flooded were under water.

"Attached are two photos of White Rock Creek which is about half a mile from my house. The photo below was taken Monday after it had subsided after Sunday's rains. This is still higher than normal. The left channel is usually just barely a trickle and usually there isn't much water coming over the dam.

"The photo above was taken today and the creek is now just one big river.

"We have surpassed the most rain for any May and now stand at over 17 inches for the month and we have 2 days left. We are going for the wettest month ever. It has rained 58 of the last 88 days. Next week they are predicting sunshine."

Before: White Rock Creek on Monday
