Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | They had so much rain last night that the Blanco River flooded the worst it ever has since 1927 I think, one dead and two missing, homes were lost, horrible. And more rain on the way. I wonder if any BB's lives in the flooded areas of Hays County? |

Location: At the race track with Ah Dee Ohs | Prayers for all those affected. They reported 7.4 inches of rain in northeast Oklahoma this morning. We needed the moisture, but I am about tired of all this rain. We've had creeks out of their banks flooding roads and a firefighter lost his life in Claremore while he was on a rescue.  |

Location: Texas | Prayers for all of the kids attending the Texas Jr. High State Finals at Gonzales, TX. They have had so much rain and the facility is located close to the river. My granddaughter is letting a friend ride her pole horse and they left this morning. I know they got there to check in, but they had to move one of the stall tents to higher ground last week meaning that those horses are going to standing on hard ground. Not an ideal situation. Arena is covered, but I hope there is enough high ground for everyone. It was a mess last year also so I am hoping that they learned somethings that will make year go smoother. It is not like they haven't known it was coming. |

| Saw a video on FB that showed a bunch of trucks and LQ trailers completely flooded and water up to the middle of the wind shield. They were rescuing horses and people out. Very scarey. |

That was in Bandera by where I live. The water has receded and they can now get out. The Trailriders are moving to the Bandera Racetrack where it is high. |

The arena is pretty far from the river, I know when it rains hard there at the arena the water pools guite a bit in areas, pretty flat there. They have had so much rain there in the last few weeks I'm suprise that they still went on with the Rodeo..

| This is all over Texas. Dallas/Ft Worth area is flodded. Many roads including interstates are closed. Witchta Falls has had mandatory evacuations. Cattle and other livestock are being moved out of the Red River bottom near Texarkana. Many are being herded out in boats. Tornados today in Kilgore and Marshall. I am tired of this rain but I have it good compared to many. We have to go to school tomorrow and I am not sure I can even get there. (In Marshall)
Prayers for all who are having to deal with these tragedies.

I know that is hard to reschedule such a big event but just hoping everyone is super careful. |

| Someone posted on Facebook asking for prayers for a young family missing in the Wimberly area. The father was found and is in ICU. The mother and two small children have not been found. The person asked everyone to start a prayer chain. If you would please join in, I am sure it would be appreciated. Their last name is McComb. |
