Rain here in East Tx

[RB II]

Well, forecast for 4-6 inches more rain today. And the river is still rising. This may become a record high water flood event. Hope not!

Thoughts and Prayers for everyone in the flooding area. Loosing your home is very difficult to deal with! memtb

Well another 4" since 3:30 today. Lots of local flooding here in town. The river gauges show a small rise is forecast.
Praying the flooding is over.

We used to wade out to about waist deep and drive t-posts in and string a trot line.

When we set trot lines in the flats or river edge, we use fresh cut pine tree sapling tops. 1" at the small end and 6-8' long depending on water depth. Jam them in the mud a foot or more and they will bend and never break.

Funny pic from a buddy who hunts close by my place. Taken by a trail cam. Feeder still throwing corn!!!
Lots of pigs in East Tx.

PS: He has better feeders than me, but he hasn't lost nearly as many down in that bottom as I have!!!

That's a lot of rain……but not quite what Louisiana and West Mississippi saw in 2016 (I think). ….30+ inches in a couple of days.

I have a video of my grandkids getting in a boat headed out for high ground, while leaving their parents at the house watching the water rise!

Parts of Louisiana had some serious flooding! memtb

Yup 30" in 2 days. Had to leave at midnight by boat with 3' water in the house. Fortunately I had put all my guns in the attic. I know you guys have been getting hammered over there.

I'm in a small town between Baton Rouge and Hammond. They had put a 5' wall on I12 as a lane divider when they added the third lanes and it was basically a dam holding back water. Thats what got us. We survived the initial rain but when then river crested it had pushed water on us.
