We took these pictures this morning, July 14th on bus. 83 crossing the bridge at Mercedes, I have never seen water in the flood control like this! The one picture is looking to the North , you can see the cars on Expressway 83, the other picture is to the South, water as far as you can see.

I have had a few emails and calls from people wanting to know about the flooding that's been going on since the Hurricane. The Rio Grande has been on the rise ever since the hurricane and many dikes and resaccas are overflowing, they're shoring up many of them. Lots of roads closed because of water over them, some of them are 1015 North of Pregresso,TX, 493 South of Donna , several roads in Cameron county closed and Los Ebanos, TX the people were just evacuated from there yesterday, I think, 300 people. , Santa Anna National Wild Life Refuge is closed Ridge Rd, parts of it closed South of Pharr. Also some familys in LaGrulla, were evacuated. There's lots more roads closed.
Hopefully with the dryer weather the water will start receding now. Lots of wind yesterday and today again, helps dry things up.
There's a couple cards up to sign...one to Linda Miller , loss of her Mother, and Dick Gibson will be having skin cancers removed, also Arlene Lange had some surgery, to do with her heart.
