Where's Noah When You Need Him?




Four days ago, our area was hit with 8.5 inches of rain in one afternoon. Further north and northwest, some of the Hill Country towns received even more rain that than. All that water has to go somewhere and much of it poured into the City Lake and from there, into the Cibolo Creek. The creek runs through our little town and even after all this time, it's still roaring over the dam's spillway with no sign of letting up. As I was taking the pictures, I became aware of the loud noise made by the rushing water. I guess I have never been that close to flood waters before and had no idea that it was so noisy. There are houses in and around the area and I'm betting they can hear that water, especially in the still of the night. It was quite impressive.
