Severe weather in Williamson County, TX (Gary Oldham's area)

(1/1)

saratogaWX:
I just heard on the Weather Channel Abrams & Bettes that the county had up to 19 inches of rain and emergency rescue folks had done 45 swift water rescues.   :shock:

I hope Gary is ok in Round Rock and is hanging in there as County EOC manager.

Just heard that rainfall figure earlier on the national news...

Brought back memories of hurricane Floyd... in some parts of SE N. Carolina we got close to 23" in 24 hours...

What a treat...  :cry:
