Bad News...
This was taken this afternoon about 1:40 PM looking East down our street from our upstairs window. There is one house you can't see here between us and the white one in the picture. That is our pine tree in the foreground.

This is what about 9 inches of rain over 2 1/2 days does when to our West. We are one block west of the Jones Road and Fawnview intersection at the end of Fawnview. Cypress Creek and "Anderson Ditch" are about 2000 feet and 200 feet respectively behind our yard to the West and they both run South to North. The ditch feeds into Cy Creek about 1/2 mile North of us. The houses one street to our North (the left in the picture) were all bought out and removed by FEMA as they had all flooded several times in the past few years.
We have seen this kind of thing about 5 times in the 31 years we have been here. The water gets into the NW corner of the back yard, but has never come close to getting into the garage and the house. The houses you see above will likely get a few inches inside.
More Good News... amazingly, we still have power.

Thanks for the update. Good to 'hear' that you are on or ahead of schedule. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that aug, 13 will be a banner day. Couldn't tell for sure just how close the water was to your garage?
Love to all.
