Glad to hear it man, and yeah some not so lucky. I live near the river that feeds the San Antonio River and it's over it's banks. Matter of fact the railroad just behind my residence was washed out. It feeds the 2 power plants between the 2 lakes I live between, Calaveras and Brauning. So it looks like they will need to repair the rails before the train can deliver anymore coal to power the plants. And my neighbor's transformer was hit by lightning, they are out today replacing it.

Sounds about right.

You're house is 102 feet above sea level and your street is 100 feet above sea level.
Spring Creek is normally 90 feet above sea level, and reportedly rose 11-12 feet.
