Rising Water (Texas Flood was taken)

So, you may have heard that the state of Texas will soon be the Island of Texas, as I'm sure we will soon float off into the gulf, and might take Oklahoma with us.
The point of this long post is I have yet to abandon my station, and/or float away.

Last night I went to help a friend who was getting flooded, and when I came back I had a moat around my own castle.
Garage and audio studio are in the back, and would be the first to go, followed by my video studio in the living room.

So I spent a few more hours with one eyeball on the encroaching pool, and the other to assure I didn't stumble shuffling gear around.

I turn 50 next month, and I've seen some of the most spectacular storms mother nature gives tornado-alley, and at about 14 or so, I was sitting on one of the crates when ShowCo opened their first laser.....  but I ain't never seen a light show like I saw last night! lol
A continuous deluge of rain and wind all evening, but for about 2.5 to 3 hours it was solid rolling thunder and giant flashes.
Doing sound design I've had to remove thunder from tracks because it was too much and not natural.... at 50x that.... last night was not natural! lol

Then it just stopped as if directed by a conductor.

Today it's sunny overhead like it was this time yesterday, but storms are expected again this evening, and last I saw, a 40% to 60% chance every day through Monday or Tues of next week.
The grass-seed I put down in the yard washed away weeks ago ... somebody down the street will have a darn nice lawn!

I'm actually on a hill called "Mountain Creek" south of Dallas, so I'm more fortunate than many other areas like Houston, but the ground is so saturated just an hour of that again would knock on my door for sure.
So I'm not worried, but concerned about the next few days because I will have all my gear in bed with me.  o.0

Blah blah, anyway I'm ok, but intermittent at the least.
This has been one helluva spring ... I think we are getting the other half of what the northeast got last winter, only in liquid form.

But the good news is if it gets REAL bad.... I'll be able to say I was one of the first people to ever use Sonar under water!!

Mmm-hmm.

I lived a couple blocks from him until I was 8, and I still use Charlies guitar shop, but it's moved since Stevie's day. lol
