July 30 Flood Update Photos

As you can see from the above pictures we still have lake front property. The water really is starting to go down but it will be a slow process.This shot is from #38's driveway looking south.

This is the field in front of #24, Roy & Kathy's house,
(who look FABULOUS,by the way) looking north.


This house, Dave & Evelyn's, #122, is typical of the kind of standing water
around most mobiles and RV's, some high spots, some puddles.



300 Row still has a few soggy spots but not bad.

200 Row is high and dry.











400 Row has water in a few areas by the north fence but is pretty well drained by now.









Ahhh, we get to our trouble spot, the 600 Row. Gloria and Ron...that's them over in that island RV paradise, have been wading for a week. Yesterday she saw a big snake swim by. Probably going after my minnows!






We are doing OK. We are playing water volleyball several times a week, sometimes with 3 teams! The valley is recovering but South Padre is still closed (Ammendment-the causeway and some restaurants have now opened), will be for several more days. Most business is back up and running. The big concentration in our Sandpiper psyche is the imminent court battle with, to quote Harry Potter, "He who shall not be named".

Thanks for all the pictures. Looks like we are getting our street back. Keep those minnows working.

Monitor this morning mentioned mosquito spraying by plane may start soon. Good thing too, as they are becoming fierce!

Sorry about all that water. :-(

Slight correction on the photo of "Dave and Evelyn's, #122" "house". I believe that's Dave and Mary's house at #120. Pam and Bob's #122 doesn't yet have a house. We're considering a houseboat instead.

WHAT???? Why did my computer do a time warp and send me to 2008???? When I read the post about Terry and Ian, I woke up and noticed the dates. Let's see if I can find this year!
