TS Hermine

[Tex]

I thought I would see less of these things by moving down into the Texas hill country but surprise surprise. We had over 14 inches of rain in 24 hours in our immediate vicinity. The weather guys were calling it a "rain bomb". We went to bed one night with some hard blowing rain but no flooding and woke up with six inches of mud in the drive and much of the new landscaping washed out. One rock wall which was already weak moved several inches. It needed to be torn down and rebuilt right anyway. The neighbor across the street saw his yard wash out into the road which dammed up the drainage down the road and sent it our way.

The good news is no water in the house and the long time neighbors say that this is the worst flood in thirty years. The county has been out with front end loaders and dump trucks but they really can't get the roads clean until the mud dries out.

A "storm of the century" only comes along every ten to twenty years, it seems.

When I saw the title "TS Hermine", I originally thought The Gay Neighbors had befriended a new transsexual.

We are way up out of the flood plain but live on the side of the mountain, so our problem was water rushing down the hill rather than standing water.

The gay neighbors can only dream. One does wonder where they come up with these names.

My first guess would the the bartenders at Hedo.

I think TS Hermione was a character in the gay parody film, "Harry Pecker and the Sorcerer's Bone."
