Between rain showers, I took a break from work to drive down to the levee and check on the flooded river.
The Brazos crested today as an all time record high, but thankfully we had raised our levees by two feet after
the last hurricane in 2008. The water is almost at the top and now it will go down... hopefully.
We pay levee taxes here and the city is honeycombed with them. There are 3 levees between my house and the river,
so our house is safe as long as we don't get a ton of rain because the storm sewers and bayous can't flow out to the river.
Meanwhile, the flood waters have displaced all of the deer, wild hogs, and coyotes up into our yards.
