Tropical storm Bill

Please pray for all beings in the path of this storm. It is expected to bring heavy rain, flooding and wind damage to areas that have already experienced violent weather and saturated soils in East Texas and Arkansas in the past few weeks.

We've had a few squalls so far. I am probably 150-175 miles away from landfall but we are on the wet east side. You are certainly right about the saturated soils. I saw video on the new the other day about lake Belton and it was defiantly to high. I hear Travis is close to full if not full. Houston is a whole 'nother story. When we lived on the south side in the 70s we would get the hard T-storms in June that would fill the streets with water. I can't imagine what its been like during the recent flooding.
