Still Raining in Texas
Saturday, September 13th, 2008
The rain is still coming down in Texas, with one of the wettest Augusts in history behind us, and quite a bit of rain in the early days of September, and now IKE coming in to East Texas following a path that appears to be headed right along the Sabine River headed North toward Tyler, Longview, and Marshall, we can expect quite a bit more. Our local reservoirs should be up to capacity. Farm ponds and small private lakes in the area should all be full. It remains to be seen whether this will be helpful to us in dealing with weed problems, or whether the extra water may cause new infestations due to overflow. We will just have to wait it out. It would be a good idea to check your ponds and lakes to see what might have floated in, as soon as the situation stabilizes.
