Marble Falls is where I plan to retire because I have several good friends there. I talk to one of them last night. She is in an area that is completely cut off and has no water other than what is falling from the sky. She is about 5' tall and doesn't have a ladder to get to her roof and climbing on her car to get to her roof won't work. She is hoping that if it comes to that she can get on a neighbor's roof. There are 2 police officers in her neighborhood that cannot get out. I told her to keep watch out the window, because I will probably be floating by soon. I live in Oklahoma and am in the storm pattern she is in. This give new meaning to "high water pants".

If it gets to the point that they are declared States of Emergency, we need to get the Red Cross in. And Americans need to respond, just as (hopefully) we did with Kansas and Missouri with the tornadoes.

Don't these people have attics in their house? Maybe I am just ignorant to how much flooding is going on... but I heard that people were drowning, I mean come on... no boats, or rafts, or attics, or scuba gear... Every house in my neighborhood has a boat and an axe in the attic. So when Katrina 2 comes through we just sit in the attic and hack our way out

I live in west/central Texas and we haven't had it as bad as up north. This is the most rain we have had in years. I hope all you fellow Texans stay safe!! I never thought I would wish for the rain to stop, but hopefully it will soon and let us dry out some.

So when Katrina 2 comes through we just sit in the attic and hack our way out That wont help the people who don't realize how deep the water is and try to drive through it. Last I heard, there were 2 people missing about 20 miles South of me because of this.

I talked to a friend who lives between Dallas and Fort Worth last evening. It was raining so hard, even through the phone it sounded like I was there. Hope you are all keeping safe and dry!
