It has stopped raining, temporarily, but more rain expected. The pictures are deceiving because you can’t see all the standing water. ~~ Counting my blessings!! “Historic flooding” in the Houston area. I’ve been following the TV coverage all day.

I love my garden; I love my tarp shelter!! But it requires a lot of attention!! Before the next storm, I moved the ladder into position, climbed the ladder and bailed the water from top of the tarp shelter.

Postscript, 6:00 PM: The statement hasn’t been documented on Google yet but Houston NBC-TV is saying “Second largest flood in U.S. recorded history.” That’s a very strong statement and I’ll try to locate verification. I suspect they mean Houston history. The local television coverage is endless; NBC evening news with Lester Holt was preempted.
