Possible flooding in Crawford today. Heads up for those heading that way.
I just got this weather alert in my email.

2. I was just about to post about the weather in the area
saw on the radar that there are some very heavy thunderstorms in the area (where are the tin foil hatters to explain how they're using HAARP to flood out the protesters?"
everything in Texas is bigger including the rain storms. We cant have a nice steady rain ...it always has to piss down buckets. The lightening can be a bit hairy though.
I'm not familiar with Crawford and don't know if there are any low water crossings leading out to the "Ranch", but thought I should post this just to be on the safe side.
We know the drill here, but there are some out of state people heading in who aren't used to our flash floods.
10. This is why I was wondering if anyone had heard if they were OK
I'm not even sure if this rain is hitting where they are. Our storms have a way of being very selective here in Texas, you can be flooding one place and not get a drop 1/2 mile away.
