A wet Memorial Day

I just came off of a three day weekend, and didn't do much.  This wasn't an option.

Starting on Saturday, a line of storms swept through the Texas Hill Country. Pflugerville was relatively safe, with some flooding and strong winds.  There was a break on Sunday, and more downpours on Monday.  Over the entire weekend, we got around 7-8 inches of rain.  Our home faired the storms well, and there's no damage. We're lucky.  About a mile from our house, a tornado touched down in Pflugerville and damaged several trees, fences and some homes.  Fortunately, no one was hurt.  The same can't be said for the rest of the state.  A dam in Bastrop failed, and San Marcus and Wimberley are devastated.

My heart goes out to our neighbors in Wimberley.  The flooding there is tragic, and people are still missing.  Several homes have been destroyed.

I was going to post about knitting, because essentially what I did all weekend, but it doesn't feel right.
My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by these storms.
