11. Good foresight. I was in Colorado.

I had my phone, but didn't bring my computer. I saw some stuff on FB and kinda figured Barry could bring rains because tropical lows, are usually what brings rain to central Texas. Our local retired TV meteorologist had posts about potential "rain bomb".

Still last Monday, I dutifully sent my sister in law to water my lawn!

My daughter in law is crushed about the flooding and loss of life for the children. Twenty years ago, my son worked at a camp for disabled kids in Comfort. She has always arranged fourth of July trips for Kerrville for the family. This year, they decided to go to Colorado. On July 3rd I said to my husband, "Why couldn't we have just gone to Kerrville like we always do. I prefer to be close to home. It's too much with five grandkids and eight adults and all this traveling. I prefer to just float down the river and swim".

I don't know what would have happened if we had gone to Kerrville, but we always rented on river front property.
