It’s Flooding Down in Texas….

Posted on 26 October 2015 by The Tactical Hermit

Wanted to show all you folks what is happening to my Home State of Texas. Please say a prayer for all those suffering from this storm.

This is from a report by Vice News.

Heavy rains associated with the tropical depression formerly known as Hurricane Patricia swamped Texas Friday and Saturday, forcing the evacuation of some residents in at least one county, closing interstates, and causing cancellations of dozens of flights at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

Flooding also carried away cars and mobile homes, while first responders have performed several water rescues after rain overtook people in their vehicles. A homeless man was reported missing in San Antonio.

Houston Chronicle reporter Dylan Baddour shared numerous videos showing roads in Austin, TX being entirely taken over by flooding.

Chopper footage from Navarro County, TX also shows that in some areas, floodwaters reached several feet in height.

Some areas, including Corsicana, Texas, saw nearly 20 inches of rain by midday Saturday. Most of the state is expected to receive at least eight inches (20 cm) of rain over the weekend, said a statement from the Texas Division of Emergency Management. Authorities in Navarro County requested sandbags for some homes that were being evacuated due to flooding, the statement said. It was not immediately clear how many homes were evacuated.

Interstate 45 in Navarro County was shut down in some spots due to rising waters, stranding some drivers, the department said.

Storms caused floods that lifted mobile homes off their foundations in Rankin, about 300 miles northwest of Austin, and caused numerous road accidents in Abilene and Odessa. Footage emerging on Wednesday showed a trailer house and an recreational vehicle drifting away in the floodwaters.

The flood waters also derailed a Union Pacific freight train in southeast Texas early Saturday morning. Flood waters covered the tracks about 55 miles south of Dallas, putting a locomotive and rail cars on their side, and the two crew members operating the train swam to safety after the derailment, Jeff DeGraff, a Union Pacific Railroad spokesman, told CNN.

The storm hit land near the area of Cuixmala, home to one of Mexico’s most exclusive resort areas, at 6:15 pm on Friday, the US National Hurricane Center said. While the storm will not directly hit the U.S., its moisture is being absorbed into a gathering storm system over Texas.

The flood watch stretches from the border with Mexico through San Antonio and into the Dallas and Houston area, a region where heavy rains and flooding in May killed more than 20 people and caused massive damage.

Stay Safe out there my Fellow Texans.

    Reblogged this on Brittius and commented:
    My element. Drawn to floods. The mud that will remain. The raw sewage mixed in everything that waters cover. The survival mode, that I so enjoy when no electric or natural gas is flowing. Only drying wood and combustible materials to in time make fire. Clean up a mess. Everything sopping wet and heavy. Irreplacable items forever lost. At least, it is not saltwater, as my flood, was. Get ready for looters. Prepare to see droves of shell shocked people lining up for water, food, clothing, and shelter. Natural disasters, we group as a people and get through it all. Very surprised there is no Rapid Mobilization of Civil Defense. I had volunteered to go to Oklahoma when tornadoes hit, but they said that they didn’t need any help. Think about it. I could do any task provided there is no conflict with laws, and I could direct traffic and run errands or supplies. I can do motor vehicle accident reports or impound inventories. I will bet that most people could do the same, and every little bit, helps. FEMA should think about that, rather than throwing everything to contractors, at taxpayer expense, but what do I know. If people are in those waters as I was here for three-and-a-half days, they will be very fatigued and should have help.
