We’re hoping the worst of the storms are over. I had reason to go outside of the park today and took my camera with me.
The wind is still with us as you can see. Not blowing nearly as hard as it was but the palm trees are standing straight OUT!
You can see in the picture below how much sand is on the road, and how much water we still have on the roadways, the next day.
We still have lots of clouds rolling through although for the most part the sun is out.
The drainage ditches are full.
Water has settled in between the rows of newly plowed cotton fields.
This stop sign wasn’t knocked over by a car….look at how it is twisted at the bottom. The wind did this and this isn’t the only one I saw like this.
There is still lots of standing water on the streets.
When I got back I took a walk around the park. Here’s our horseshoes pits. A mesquite tree was uprooted.
The water just doesn’t have anywhere to go.
I don’t think we’ll be playing mini golf anytime soon.
This is a picture from last year when we were using this area for the Frisbee Toss during the Winter Olympics.
This is what it looks like today!
Take note of the blue rock. It says, “The Shore at Quail Run”. This is our lake….when the retention pond fills.
Needless to say, these storms have been on the news ALOT! Much like a blizzard on the east coast is. News people at every flooded intersection reporting.
Hopefully sunny skies are in our future.
