[Magdalen] Houston flooding

[Rick Mashburn]

My friend Tirey posted on FB that there was 9" of rain in Houston
overnight. I've seen pics online of widespread flooding of all the rivers
and bayous. Must major freeways are flooded too.

Lord, have mercy.

Peace, Rick
Soggy but not flooded in San Antonio
