I'm sitting here in my livingroom in Friendswood at almost 4:30 a.m. and I'm seeing lighning off to the east. Nothing is falling yet but I'm believing the forcasts for more rain today. 

 My backyard is a nice lake, I wasn't aware I was buying waterfront property when we bought the house in 1995. Of course, we went through Allison without flooding, it came halfway up my driveway in front and in back it covered the patio and was within a fraction of an inch from coming into the house via the back door.

 I really like the rain, it keeps us from getting to the summer heat and it keeps the water temperature down in the gulf. I've only lived in the area since 1990 but I've watched the hurricanes and I've figured out that when the beach temperature gets over 80, we start watching, when it gets over 85 and pushing 90, it's time to really start watching and having the supplies in a convienient place, the essential papers in the box, and the tubs for other valuables nearby.

 More rain comin'. More light show going on.

Charlayne,
For writing at 4:30 in the morning...I love your style. I have some empathy about your waterfront property...my backyard looks like that too. My kids are still at home and they LOVE having a little lake to play in and I have to admit that I kind of like to get into the mud too! We'll keep watching those tropics right along with you too.
